So we got an announcement this morning from the Captain telling everyone to come to the lounge for an imporant weather update. It appears that there is a fast moving storm with 65 knots on on its way. we are now runnning for shelter at Port Stanley where we will anchor to ride it out. Anchor as opposed to alongside in case it gets to bad and we have to put to sea as it is safer.
The expedition leader told Donna in 15 years of coming to Antarctica he has only ever seen one storm like this and the Captain said the barometric pressure is so low the ships instruments dont go that low................Dont we call this a hurricane?
Donna went to the reception desk to ask about seasickness and they told her to stay drunk....seroiusly....so off to the bar we go. Quote of the day is from a little old lady who said - if I must walk like this it may as well be after 12 scotches....................
