New Year's Eve






New Year's Eve and the waves of The Drake Passage had kept us in bed the whole day. We were both sick, exhausted and raced to the toilet. At 11.50 pm the crew knocked on our door and invited us up on deck. It took a lot of effort to get up, to put on all layers, rushed through the boat in order to get fresh air as soon as possible and to avoid "liquide accidents." Once on deck we all got Dutch oliebollen and a glass of champagne and for the first time ever I poured it out and we both asked for orange juice. Right on time for the Happy New Year toast. It didn't take long until we both were back in the cabin again.

I do think that we both look a bit pale in the pictures.
