poletopoleToday we are crossing the Drake Passage. The weather is good; the ship is of course moving which the interior decorators didn't anticipate terribly well so a few things are sliding around. I ask you: on a moving ship, are polished granite counters a good idea? I think not.
But this is in fact much calmer than the North Atlantic crossing was, and it's only one day. Tomorrow we arrive at King George Island, in the South Shetland Islands, and if conditions permit, we will go ashore to visit some penguins there (if the penguins are at home); and perhaps if there is time one may put one's nose into Arctowski Research Station.
Petrels and albatrosses coast on the draft behind the ship. It is too rough to get a decent photo of them. They appear to be enjoying themselves!
Someone has left a copy of Georgette Heyer's Venetia among the pile of Truly Worthless Mass-Market Paperbacks my fellow passengers have discarded. Do I want it?
