birds and icebergs. We made it south of the Antarctic Circle. And
todays landing was at Prospect Point, on the continent. So, it's
official, we have set foot on Antarctica!!! We have now started our
journey north and are heading for the Drake. No one is looking forward
to that part of the voyage!! The seas are already picking up and
everybody on board is checking their sea sick patches. I'm sure the
doctor is filling his syringes getting ready for the crossing. Words
cannot express what it's like to cross the Drake. You know that crab
fishing show from Alaska (Deadliest Catch). The Drake makes that look
like a wave pool!!!! It's quite intense.
"A Trip to Antarctica is the worst way to have the time of your life"
I'm sure that was written by someone crossing the Drake. We're doing
our best to prepare as is the ship. Chairs are being bolted to the
floor (no kidding), and Everything in our cabin has to be placed on the
floor because furniture will be traveling around in the night. Nothing
we can do but go through it! Everything that is loose is strapped down,
tables, chairs; even the computer monitor is bolted to the desk that is
strapped to the wall.
Pray for smooth sailing for us.
Love,
Felice, Bob and Judi
