The first part got cut off and can't remember what it was supposed to be. So sorry.
r one day at sea and to sleep in after much travel. Some people are sick from the rocking of the boat but it's nothing like it was in Drake Passage in Antarctica.
At 9:30 am we were awakened with the terribly loud speaker system in both English and German that a lecture would be starting in half hour.
Alma and I got up and dashed to breakfast which would end at ten. We then came back to our room and got showered and dressed. Then we went to a great photo lecture.
There was another Interruption during the lecture as two humpback whales and a bunch of dolphins were seen from deck so off we went cameras in hand.
The problem for me is that the whales were too far away and after the tail fluke I got in Alaska in 1992 I'm a bit picky about taking pictures of a dorsal fin way in the distance.
Back to the lecture, back to the room, and then off to lunch. You see everything happens here by the meals and that's how we know what we are doing or have done.
Then we had the obligatory zodiac lecture of what we can and cannot do. I'm just hoping we see polar bears.
We are on our way to Bear Island where we will stop and zodiac around to see birds. What's wrong with this picture??? We might see bears and limestone drive through caves.
Today is the Captain's Reception and dinner. No it's not dressy. Change of shirt and men will probably wear slacks instead of jeans. My kind of travel.
Love, J
Reception was nice but my goodness some people were all dressed up. In Antarctica it was very casual and of course eight of us had no luggage so you can imagine how we looked. Dinner was good but a store went out and ours was delayed. We spent three hours but it still seemed like 6:30 when we left the dining room.
Tomorrow we zodiac around Bear Island but won't get out of the zodiac. It's our first outing. Looking forward.
Good night all. Love, J
