Seas are not too rough although I am reeling about it when navigating around the ship. The maxim on board is "one hand for the ship" and it is one well worth observing.
We saw penguins last night - Megellanic Penguins - which are native to South America and the Falklands. John Sparks, a naturalist and very entertaining man, is about to give his talk on the Albtross.
We were in the lounge at about 1:30 pm when it was announced that one of the passengers, one of our group, had fallen down the stairs. Condition unknown. It is has been extremely treacherous on board for the past few hours. Even holding on you are thrown around like a rag doll. The Steward in the lounge said that the seas were not terribly rough and that he had seen much worse conditions!
An update on Carol's condition: she was severely injured although we have no details as yet. A meeting was called about 3 pm. in the lounge where we were informed that Carol was to be evacuated via a Chilean med. vac. plane as they are the closest to us. We have to change course
to accommodate that operation.
