Drake Passage

Last night was a lot of fun.  The crew put on a show after dinner and, as usual, a lot of hidden talent on board.  Most of my pics are videos which I can’t post but there was lots of dancing and singing afterwards and even Captain Maggi was bopping along. Was rather tricky dancing with the ship rolling in every direction! A lot of sore heads this morning, I suspect!

How I managed not to roll out of bed I’ll never know!  During the night the wardrobe doors kept opening and closing, drawers came out, glasses rattled, but having a shower this morning was a major challenge.  Once again the tide was in!!! 

I went to a lecture earlier on fishing in the Southern Ocean and Antarctica in particular.  Then at 11.15 there was a cooking demonstration on making gnocchi.  Chef Ross is Scottish, not sure he would top any of our chefs at home but he has managed very well on a 23 day voyage where the last few supplies of fresh ingredients were uploaded at Stanley, Falklands.  

After lunch it’s time to hand in the borrowed boots then tonight is the farewell dinner and Captain’s cocktail party.
