This is the last day we will be spending on the Antarctica Peninsula. Tomorrow if the weather permits we will set our bow to the North. In the morning Voy and I head out to check out the Wendell Seals. Yesterday we saw quite a few lounging on the beach when we went to the Argentina refugee. There were back on the rocky beach today so we landed and got to watch them just hanging out.
One seal gave us the eye, but shortly afterward went back to sleep.
There were about 7 of them just enjoying the sunny day.
It was also a good day to see some Chin Strap Penguins. It almost seemed that they were saying safe travels on your return back to South America
Upon returning to the ship, Ryan and Beth wanted me to get some photos of them playing volleyball. They had spent the morning taking a hike back up the mountain that we had climbed yesterday and thought that it would be fun to get some photos of them playing volleyball.
I doubt if there are many people that have gotten to play volley ball here.
Jim, lulia and Jamie spent a good amount of time in the kitchen preparing food for the Drake. Once enroute it will be difficult to spend time in the kitchen. Voy gave the recommendation not to eat or eat very little while in the passage. I think that I am going to try that method.
Meanwhile the sun is out and there is time for another Polar Plunge. Don, Jim and I decide that we are going to pass on that activity but will happily take photos of the younger crew members.
Ryan and Jamie are game to go again so on the count of 3 Julia and Beth get to experience the Plunge with them.
There was definitely a race to get back to the ladder.
The remainder of the day was organizing our gear and making sure everything was well stowed. We had a relatively early dinner and were soon sleeping.
