Shaken not Stirred
Photo taken from the bridge (deck 6) of our trusty little ship Polar Pioneer while crossing Drakes Passage. It was taken one handed as I held on for grim death with the other, lol.
The ship was built as an ice breaker, as a result it has a much more rounded hull and NO stabilisers. During the first 24 hours of the crossing we had constant 8 meter seas coming at a 45 degree angle on the port beam. During the second 24 hours nothing much had changed except the seas had increased to 10+ meters. Made for interesting meal times.

Egads….no stablizers?? You brave, brave soul. The Furious Fifties did me in once. I was reduced to lying in my cabin calculating what it was costing me to be so seasick. The trip was worth it though. I know a lady who endured a terrifying rogue wave in the Passage. It smashed the bridge, stove in the flying bridges and several officers’ cabins plus created much havoc. They made it back to Ushuaia, Argentina, limping and bruised, thankful to be in the land of the living. You had a VERY rough crossing. Thanks for sharing your story and for posting this powerful image.

A cool, composed 007 eating during those waves? I can picture it now. Even with stabilizers I can sometimes wish I were elsewhere. Great shot and story!
