Day 9
Good morning....we are sailing on the calmest Drake Passage ever, proof that Dad is with us on this trip. The air temperature is 1C and the water temperature is 1C. The sky is blue with scattered clouds. We have opened our cabin window for the first time to enjoy the fresh air and swooshing of the Antarctic waters.
There are presentations planned for today, two this morning and two in the afternoon. The rain gear lines the halls, waiting to be picked up and readied for the ships next group of passengers.
We have sailed 1105 miles and our next destination is Cape Horn.
Today is a very soothing day with sunshine, fresh air and the maternal rocking....ah, morning nap and afternoon nap.
Lunch: cream of celery soup, beef stroganoff or curry vegetables and a sorbet with delicious mixed berries.
At tea time we few Canadians were treated by the RCGS to sweet treats, tea and coffee in the library....just a few doors down from us. Great conversation, great hospitality.
Dinner: Pork tenderloin or Shrimp stuffed cod, saffron rice, veggies, chickpea soup and of course salad bar. Dessert was a nice light mousse with fresh fruit.
Out trip is coming to a close. Our luggage as well as our final account invoices will be delivered to our cabin in the morning.
As I look out our cabin window there is only water around us......calm rolling water as far as the eye can see. We have left Antarctica behind and look forward to seeing the southern tip of South America tomorrow afternoon.
Good night!
