Comments
The constant whistle of the wind and the occasional splash of water on a porthole. These sounds, and of course the pitching of the ship, are constant reminders of where we are and where we heading. Getting to Antarctic is not straightforward. While we are now well over halfway to Davis, there are some aboard who wish that arriving at Davis was a bit more straightforward. And then there are others, who marvel at the vastness of the ocean, the power of the waves, and wonder when we will see our first iceberg.
