We are going through some really rough seas. So far, Ev and I have not been sick. It must have been all those rollercoaster rides and trips on Long Island ferry that help us.
40 people made it to Global Studies class today, with the remaining ~60 feeling ill and self-confined to their bunks, quarantined, or sea sick.
The seas are pretty rough. One student describes the rough seas- sliding from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed...feeling really heavy then feeling really light. She finally gave in and put on a patch to help with the seasickness. The researches on board have told her that each time they go on land they lose their sea legs and have to re-acclimate once back on board. They did tell her that each time the acclimation process does get shorter. The Crew made an announcement that the rough seas would only last through Tuesday (Feb 7) and that the rest of the trip to Ghana would be much smoother sailing. She seemed very upbeat and happy in spite of the rough seas.
We weren't allowed to use the internet for a period of time since they were "streaming the Super Bowl"!
