We made it!


 Another night of rockin and rollin. And another day of walking like drunkards.  We are all getting our sea legs but none of us can walk in a straight line.  Drake's Passage was living up to its reputation.   

Follow up on that rogue wave that hit us yesterday morning.  Crew showed us a picture of the breakfast buffet food line, one of the three decks was all on the floor.  A BIG mess to clean up.  Also, crew included a primer on rogue waves at our debriefing last night.  We hope that is our last one!

Today we were fitted with our drysuits for kayaking.  We hope we don't have to use them.  If we go over in our kayak, we will stay dry but not warm.  They did tell us that when kayaks go out, there is a 'guardian angle' Zodiac watching everyone.  Reassuring.

Turned out to be a beautiful day.  In the afternoon, we climbed into the Zodiacs for a short cruise up to a rocky beach full of penguins.  Lots of penguins.  Lots of babies.  Great fun watching them move about.
