Heading North

We are leaving Antarctica heading towards Drake Passage. Rough seas and fog in the south Atlantic. Nothing much to report today. Will be more to see once we approach the tip of South America.

Day 4 A bit of Snow while Cruising Palmer Station

Woke up this morning to a bit of snow Visibility has been poor but the views have still been quite spectacular. I will post a few pictures with the hope of posting more later.

Day Three Couverville Island

Our first stop today was Couverville Island. We saw quite a few whales near the island and periodically throughout the afternoon. We will be heading a bit further south to Paradise Bay, which we will be arriving at later today. Below are some of the pictures I took while there.

Second Day Antartica

Heading South

Today we are starting to head south. No port today, just getting a walk in and deciding what's for dinner. The sea is calm and the sun is out. Tomorrow's port should have much the same weather. I suspect it will start cooling down as we

Punta del Este

Today we went to an olive oil tasting. I'm now educated on some of the differences in various olive oils. The wine and cheese that went along with the event made for a great morning on shore. May update but for now kicking back and let all the
