Nearly twenty years ago, when HMS Endurance pulled into Port Everglades, the seed was planted for this adventure. Since Endurance I have been drawn to that frozen part of our planet, the creatures who call it home, and the stories of the men and women who have walked there. Deep inside where dreams are born I knew one day I would travel to the place some have called White South. I hope that you will come along with me on this exciting adventure.

Home Is The Sailor ....

.... home from the sea. We are all on terra firma and home - via different routes, but back in South Florida. My route - Ushuaia, Buenos Aires, Miami. Felice and Bob's route - Ushuaia, Buenos Aires, Dallas, Miami. I unlocked the front door at 5:45 yesterday morning, dropped my packs on the floor and slept most of the day away. When I sit, I find myself swaying as if I am still aboard MV Polar Star. Standing, walking, lying down - no such sensation. However, when sitting - I sway. I am anxious to see the photos - hundreds of them - in order to give myself a visual "pinch" that will prove I was there - Antarctica. Please check back in a few days. I promise to post some FABULOUS stuff.

Thanks for coming along. See you soon.
