Rockin' n' Rollin'

The seas have certainly picked up as soon as we left snow island.  The boat rocked all night.  A lot less people at breakfast this morning.  I didn't think it was a big deal.  A bit uneasy to walk but you just have to hold on.

The day was filled with activities. An English lunch of fish and chips was served in the pub with a sing-a-long (very campy).  There was a kayak upload hour in the photo lab at 1pm.  The download was at 4pm.  Jake collected everyone's pictures and put them in their respective date folders for everyone to download their trip.  I got Kate's and my own. We had a very interested tour of the bridge. You could really see the swells from up there.

Before I knew it, it was time for trivia.  Our team won today!  Then it was straight to the afternoon briefing and recap.  Briefing consisted of "When do we put the luggage out?"  The recap, however, was very interesting. A few of the expedition leaders did short presentations of their observations of the last week.  They were all very clever and entertaining.

At 7 pm there was the captain's parade.  A big hug and kiss for the crew.  Two butlers escorted Kate and myself up to the festivities  Nice touch. Dinner seemed to go on forever.  We knew all the people at our table now.  I tried to get our old table 21 but was told no.  "Why not?"  "That's the Captain's table."  "Doesn't he know it's ours???"  Needless to say, we have been sitting in the best seat in the house all week without knowing it.

Our late night entertainment consisted of Brian, the entertainment director, putting on a one man show.  He was fabulous and does a terrific job of keeping everyone happy on board..

One more day at sea and then it is time to start boarding planes.

Next time.... Sailing to Ushuaia
