Oh, oh. Shortly after the good ship Plancius left the Beagle Channel it encountered a Force 11 storm (Force 12 is a hurricane.) Chocolate Mike bungied himself to the back of a chair to keep from being flung about the ship like everybody else aboard. Soon he was forced to swallow handfulls of KWELLS, a traditional Australian seasick remedy, just like his travelling companions. They all spent almost 2 days lying just like this on their bunks, wishing they would just die and get it over with. Just so everybody's clear on this, the Drake Passage really does have the roughest water on the planet.
