A Whale of a Christmas... Part 2

As the boat began to fill with people our captain announced that each passenger was required to take a motion sickness tablet in order to proceed. Understandably, the crew didn't care to swab the deck any more than necessary so the mandatory pills were passed and we were on our way.
Heaving stomach contents was my hobby during pregnancy (a memory quite easily regurgitated, pun definately intended) so I knew that only half a pill was required to quell my queasiness. Other voyagers mindlessly swallowed a whole pellet, some even two.
About 20 minutes into the journey the captain excitedly announced that beautiful schools of fish could be viewed from the starboard side of the ship and as if on cue all the passengers lept to their feet and began digitally clicking away at the panaromic wildlife.
Oohs and Ahhs could be heard as we continued to sail onward in search of the fabulous Humpback whales.
