Another calm day at
sea. How long could our luck last? I felt quite rested after
yesterday's full day at sea, so I did quite a bit of walking
around the decks and spent time up on the Bridge, which
was open to passengers most of the time. |

Yesterday it was reported
that seven snowy sheathbills had been circling the ship
for a long time and many people were curious about why they
didn't land and hitch a ride. Today, two of them did and
seemed quite unconcerned about me talking photos of them. |

During lunch, which
was always served buffet-style, we would be given a menu
for the evening meal and asked to give our preferences for
the choices on offer. No names or table numbers were recorded,
but it gave the chef an indication of how many of each dish
to prepare in order not to have too much wastage. I thought
that was a really good idea. |

Yes, I appreciated the
ice cream offered and served by the expedition team in the
lounge! Afterwards, I went up to the Bridge and got some
wonderful views, the best on the ship, in my opinion. There
was always a member of the expedition team there to answer
questions or to help with wildlife spotting. Strangely,
not too many passengers ventured up there. I think it was
because taking good photos wasn't possible through the glass,
so it was mainly the people without cameras that spent time
there. |

My virtual
companion, William Bear, certainly enjoyed his time on the Bridge... |
|
...not
to mention sitting in a zodiac, hoping to be first ashore when the
call came! |
|
| |
I just
loved these dramatic views, especially at this latitude. |
