A very nice Sunday at sea. The weather has certainly turned as we are experiencing some rocking and rolling tonight cancelling the Amsterdam singers and dancer shows this evening. Highlights of the day where the introduction of the Antarctic Team, headed by Dr. Peter Carey, great to see Peter again as he was with us last year on the Prinsendam. To round out the team we have Jason Kelly and Gabriela Roldan - both very experienced in the Antarctic, we look forward to their lectures. Tonight was also our Black and White Gala night, so lots of fun along with another great meal of beef wellington. Our pillow gifts tonight include a special 2019 edition of the Antarctic Cruising Guide (authored by Dr. Peter Carey and our other guest speaker from last year, Craig Franklin) and a full 2020 Grand World Voyage fleece set of toque, gloves and scarf, great as I did not bring mine from last year hoping that we would get new ones this year, so yeah. A few pics of our day, hope you enjoy…. Our adventure has definitely changed gears as the chatter around the ship is all about getting out our cold weather clothes. From our lecture today on the Falklands, I think the the high on the day of our visit is going to be a balmy 15 degrees celsius - brrrrrr.
