We slept quite late (for us) to 8:00am, probably in part because of the rolling of the ship on the Drake Passage across open ocean, and partly because I was coughing a lot. After a quick breakfast, I realized I was really not feeling well, with a painful cough and sore throat and swollen glands, not a good sign. I sent Barney off to the lecture on how we would do landings, and another one on whale-watching. Meanwhile I went to the doctor, who said she thought it was a bit of bronchitis and gave me some antibiotics, also tested for Covid which was thankfully negative. By this time I was exhausted and sleepy, and rested until Barney came back at lunchtime. He went off to lunch, I read for a while, and he brought me back some soup. The afternoon was more sleeping and reading for me, while Barney went to the lecture on bird-watching and photography hints and techniques, which he really enjoyed. He also went up to the bridge, which is open most of the time. The doctor called me back to her clinic as I was having some side-effects from the antibiotics, and told me to isolate. So, back to the room, time looking out to the sea, reading, and sleeping. As I write this Barney is off to the captain’s welcome reception and dinner, and air will have some soup in the room and read. Luckily I brought four books with me, and am now halfway through the first of two Louise Penney Inspector Gamache books.
