...or going with the stream in the Southern
Ocean.
Today we started our day the same way we left it last night,
like being on a dancing ground. This was the first glance of what we expected it
to be in the Southern Ocean. Exactly as we have heard and dreamed in all the
adventure stories we were told as child’s, those of the hard discovery voyages
of the old glorious early days of Antarctic exploration which captivated our
imagination in a fascinating way, such that has brought us today to experience
the same thrill.
We continued in east direction, leaving the
Falkland/Malvinas Islands behind and turning slightly to the south, in the way
to South Georgia.
As you can see, the day was bright and perfect to enjoy the
company of our faithful feathery companions, the cape petrels, the southern
giant petrels, also some prions and light mantled sooty albatrosses.
Also some bridge visits were organized and some of our guests were
able to become more familiar with our floating home. While writing this lines,
the whole ships rolls half smoothly but permanently in the commanded direction,
all thanks to the highly technological equipment we have on board, as you can
see on the picture, not to forget the most important of them, being the “coffee
machine”.
We finished the day with our traditional “fashion show”, modeling
for the benefit of all the participants and wishing a healthy and recovery
night to our guests.
