For a small but
persistent group, this morning again started with yoga. Despite the loss of one
hour of sleep everyone seemed fit. The one hour loss originated from our
crossing from the Argentinian time zone to the Mid-Atlantic time zone. However,
in a few days we get it back again when we sail towards the Falkland Islands.
Like yesterday, a
program was set up with bridge visits, lectures and further information on
South Georgia.
In addition we also had a presentation of the planned landings
for the next two days. The only thing left now is to pray that the constantly
and fast changing weather of South Georgia will let us go through with the
plan.
At lunch we had a few
uncommon visitors around the Fram. It was three Light Mantled Sooty Albatrosses
that were gliding around in the air. Most of the time at distance but
occasional they came close by the vessel.
Suddenly mid afternoon
a bunch of happy campers were crowding in the gallery.
They were all waving
with their diploma which stated that they tented overnight in Antarctica. The
reason for their activity was a group photo session.
As usual on sea days
dinner today was a 3 course menu. Around desert time the restaurant attendant's
entered in a group singing and playing the tambourine. The reason for this was
a young lady who could celebrate her birthday in the Scotia Sea.
In the evening it was
possible to enjoy not only the crew singing but also some passengers grabbed
the microphone. Most songs were accompanied by people dancing.
