"Your money is no good here. Orders from the house." (Days at Sea) - 6 - 8 February 2009

The editor wishes to point out that we were not, in fact, at sea all three days.  Originally we were going to do another landing on South Georgia on February 6th but the return of the dread "hurricane-force winds" prevented that from happening.

So we stayed on the boat with the crew doing their best to distract us.  There were lectures, movies, and a National Geographic Bee (Jen came in 2nd, I came in somewhat lower).  There was also lots of time to kill without a viable Internet connection, during which I found that the copy of Wizard's Crown I downloaded before getting on the boat was missing the Emerald Key that is critical to completing the game.

It's enough to make a person stir crazy.

At least Jen's starting using the Dramamine in a preventative manner, so there are no more entries in the illness competition.

We did see a couple of impressive icebergs, shown below:

We're on our way to the Falkland Islands, which I'll talk about in the next post.
