JT3_8948p.jpg

As we cross the Drake Passage going North, we are hitting very high seas 30 feet plus, with sustained winds ranging from 30 to 50 knots and gusts up to 78 knots (that is 34.6 to 57.h mph, with gusts to 90 mph). I have tried to capture images of some of the waves and wind in the following images. Sometimes from indoors, but sometimes from our outside "Panorama Deck". All other outside decks were closed for safety reasons.
