Today is our second full sea day as we head northeastward
toward South Georgia Island. Just like the line by Hoagy Carmichael from his
song “Georgia” sung by Ray Charles, Georgia is on our minds. We are looking forward
to landing tomorrow on the Island and seeing the King Penguins and to visit the
old whaling station and the museum at Grytviken.
Today was filled with 8 lectures and most were directed to
get us to appreciate South Georgia.
The island has an intriguing history and striking scenery.
Plus we now know about the geography, geology and the productivity of the
nearby waters gave rise to the krill density which provided the food for the
whales.
Our evening had a musical note. In the Observation Lounge,
Myles played the piano or his ukulele and he provided the music and words for
our dancing and listening enjoyment as we motored on toward Georgia. In this
case it is the south end of South Georgia Island.
