At Sea

We are on the first of two days at sea as we cruise northwards to Buenos Aires. The rocking and rolling is still there, storm systems have apparently been piling up here in the far south Atlantic and made the Drake Passage as well as the waters north of the Falklands difficult. But we are making good speed. I give one of my last talks today and then will participate in a question/answer session along with the captain, the ice captain and the two other expedition lecturers. Then it is time to start packing up everything and making plans to get home. I am pretty homesick at this point and looking forward to seeing my wife and children again.
