Comments
Awoke to a beautiful sunny morning, after a pleasant evening. But suddenly chilly! We've crossed into Antarctic waters now, with the sea temperature taking a dive into the 2 degree region, and the air temperature below zero. Iceberg sweepstakes have gone up in the restaurant as a result. Field training continues to keep people entertained. All onboard remarkably well considering our high calorie diet.
Regards, Doug & Misty
