Fog continues to rollin and out.  Captain has come on and said we are continuing to Paradise bay and hope to be there at 4 but still totally dependent on weather.  Most meaningful comment so far was “ you are seeing something that leas than 1% of the people in the world will see.  So in awe.

IPhone, was worried about the weight (especially with the big zoom).  Should have done it

7:40am snow squalls.  Elephant island at 4:30 we hope.  Elephant seals and penguins hopefully.  Then back thru Drake’s Passage.

Last night went to our first show. Tribute to Michael Buble with a male trio called NYC3.  Supported by the house band.  Very good.

Absolutely incredible photos!  You are making me feel like a kid again that can't wait for Christmas to unwrap my gifts!  3 weeks now feels like an eternity away. 

 

From which side of the ship are you taking the pictures?  Our cabin is on the port side. Does the Captain turn the ship in a circle so both sides of the ship can enjoy the views?  Also, what's the coldest temperature you've experienced so far?  Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words.  We are staying on the port side.  That said, the captain has tried to maneuver the ship around, and we did take a bunch from our balcony.  A word of caution with this thinking.  the view for the other side might be better and change before you can adjust.  Of course, the weather plays the biggest variable in all of this.  

 

A couple of other suggestions, the outer deck in the gym (forward) was a great idea.  If it gets really cold, the glass around the main pool has panels that can slide open.  Sunset bar area is another.
