No, this has nothing to do with the way Canadian musician Drake dances (wow, that was terrible, haha - but I apologize for nothing!).
On our travels, we will have to cross the Drake Passage - the body of water between South America's Cape Horn and the northernmost point of the Antarctic Peninsula. This can take anywhere from 36-48 hours depending on conditions. According to Quark Expeditions:
The propensity for high winds in the region can cause rough seas, and conditions sometimes referred to as the “Drake Shake.” Conversely, the “Drake Lake” is occasionally encountered when the passage is calm. Many people consider the Drake Passage a rite of passage on their voyage to the Antarctic.

I'd also love to hear about other remedies for motion sickness. What has worked for you? Message me or comment below!
On the cruises we have been on, they suggest eating green apples.
ReplyDeleteGreat - haven't heard of this one. Thanks!
DeleteI've been told to look at the horizon - something about keeping your eye on a fixed point helps you to cope with the motion of the boat. Also, if you need to throw up, don't fight it! You usually feel much better after vomiting than if you try to keep it down. :) Have fun!!!
ReplyDeleteBarf if I need to... got it. Thanks! :-)
