Rainy Day, bring out the videos

If you have visited the webcam in the last few days you will have noticed a sudden change in the weather today. Instead of the usual blue skies, today is grey and it's raining. On rainy days like this I just want to read books watch videos. And it just so happens that the clever media team at Greenpeace have put together a new video, “Defending our oceans: the story so far” .

I love the whistling and whirring sounds the rain is bringing. As I look out the porthole I try to imagine what the view would have been like one year ago, when this ship and her crew braved the Southern Ocean. I ask my cabin mate Caterina what it was like, with her hands (she is Italian after all) in front of the porthole she demonstrates how the horizon would appear, rise, disappear, then come back down again. I then imagine the wind howling not whistling, and the waves thumping not splashing.
