The Mild Drake Passage

Molting King Penguins, South Georgia Island
Molting King Penguins, South Georgia Island
So far the Drake Passage is uneventful. We attend a lecture on bird migration and go on a behind-the-scenes tour of the kitchen. It looks like a challenging work environment and makes me appreciate all that fresh French bread even more. The captain calls a special meeting and announces a surprise landing on Cape Horn for tomorrow morning. The agreeable Drake means that we are ahead of schedule and have extra time. We all feel very lucky.

This was a life changing trip of a lifetime and exceeded my expectations. No details were left out during the planning of this trip by Adventure Life. The entire crew on the ship could not have been more helpful and kind. Everyone went out of their way to make this trip as pleasurable as possible.
