SEADAY

After our Penguin stop in Puerto Mandryn, we are done with Penguins! Today back at sea. I am going on with my seaday program today. Carol has been enjoying the lectures from Dr Craig Franklin from the UV of Queensland Australia. This man is a very good speaker and has a great knowledge of the environment. Up to today we had lectures about Antartic climate, Ozon layer, Importance of maintaining the antarctic ice, Sharks, and Crocodiles. Craig used to be a very close friend of the late Steve Irwin (crocodile man). Besides the lectures we also have presentations on seadays of the future ports we are going to visit. Some of the people we got to know on this cruise will be leaving us in Buenos Aires. In total 200 are leaving and 150 new ones are coming on board for the Amazon portion of the cruise. (looking forward to the Amazon) It was a very windy day again today on the outer decks. Meanwhile the temperature has risen to above 30C deg. Luckely the sea swells are not to bad, what makes the traveling not to uncomfortable. Tonight we have the last performance of the band Savannah Jack. Over 3 performances they have worked their way from the 50’s to the 80’s tonight. They do 2 shows per evening, but the shows are different from each other what makes it so great. With most entertainment on the ship, usually the late show is a repeat from the earlier show. For tomorrow we are suppose to land in Punta Del Esta in Uruquay, we are looking forward to it.
