Today I had my appointment with the doc. To comply with the Antarctica Treaty's requirement for self-sufficiency, you have to have a doctor sign off that you are in reasonable health for such an adventure. Fortunately, she was willing to attest that I am not carrying any known penguin killing viruses and have a fair expectation to survive at least through the middle of December. She also gave me a prescription for motion sickness patches. I have never had a problem with motion sickness in the past, but the Drake Passage will be the ultimate test. After hearing stories of passengers being strapped to their bunks for the two day crossing, I thought it best not to take any chances.
Oh, good news on the camera front. Both advisers have recommended I go with the equipment I currently have. While it was unthinkable for them to imagine that I would have no future need for more advanced equipment, they do not believe I will see improvement significant enough to justify what was becoming quite an expense. Whew.
Still no fleece vest. Moving past denial and approaching acceptance.
