Drake Passage, Southern Ocean

Posted at 8:40 am, January 21st, 2004

After hundreds of whales, tens of thousands of seals, millions of penguins, and countless memories we’ve started the trip home across the Drake Passage. Last night’s party was a fairly low-key affair for the time that I was there — I left around 12:30 and on my way out accidentally triggered the bell at the bar which Tim and Carter had boobie trapped with fishing line. We’ve still got today and tomorrow for bird and whale watching on the decks, but sadly the main part of our trip has come to an end. It’s been a great one — I’d recommend Cheeseman’s to anyone looking for a nature experience that will be remembered forever.
