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.

Port Lockroy

Hello to all,
We're getting ready to pull into Port Lockroy, a British station. There
are going to be lots of penguins of many different varieties. I'll be
taking extra batteries and flash cards. As far as bringing home some
penguins, I'd like nothing better. They are so much cuter in person.
Bob is alive and well. He came out of the cabin today and is again with
the living. It now seems as though the virus has circulated among
everyone. It jumped from the passengers to the crew now.
They're keeping us so busy with lectures, films and shore landings. We
couldn't have picked a better ship with a better crew. The ship only
carries 100 passengers so there are no lines for anything and by now
everybody knows everybody.
If you want to communicate with us, send an email to edan
(eshekar@gmail.com) or adee (shekar@nova.edu) and they can attach it to
their emails.
Thank you to everyone who is taking care of the puppies and the kitties.
We so appreciate it. Thank you, thank you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB EIGHMIE!!!!
LOVE,
Felice, Bob and Judi
