Creator's Key Takeaways

after 100 cruises this is by far the most stormiest Seas I have ever ever seen

the Drake Passage is definitely a right of passage we're going to conquer it rather than be scared of it

it was cold not going to lie it was bitterly cold the Expedition guides when I was getting out said take your time enjoy the water I thought hell no man I'm getting out of here as quickly as I can

we got surrounded by a bunch of hump back wheels and it was one of the most spectacular moments of my life it was just wonderful

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take seasickness medication a good hour before motion starts
Pick a cabin low down towards the center of the ship for least movement
Stay hydrated and have something in your stomach
Wear layers and apply sun lotion due to strong southern hemisphere sun
