The Beagle Channel 21 February 2020 – Drake Passage We enjoyed a nice chance to sleep-in until 7:45 am. The Drake was much more lively this morning with long rolling swells rolling us back and forth in our beds, and once upright we often were walking at an angle to keep balance. In the morning Expedition team member Lisa, held a presentation on the details of the Antarctic Treaty. Throughout the morning the birders were our on deck hoping to get a glimpse of more albatrosses, however conditions were a bit challenging, nice to get some fresh air though. In the afternoon the kayakers had a debrief of their great adventures gliding along the surface of the sea, dipping their paddles left and right. Such a surreal experience to be fulling immerged in the ocean of Antarctica, so close and personal. They shared photos and experiences together, all put together 22 individuals had the chance to explore the icy waters of Antarctica. In the late afternoon we had a slideshow of all of Sandra’s photos from the expedition. Such a talented photographer; she really captured all our experiences in crystal clear stillness for us to remember forever. The charity raffle was fun and managed to raise a beneficial sum for the important charities we have learned about. One is the “South Georgia Heritage Trust” whose efforts try to eradicate foreign species of flora and fauna that threaten local ecosystems; the other was “Hook Pod”, an invention that protects seabirds from getting caught in the fishing lines of commercial fishing vessels; and the last one was the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC). The evening events were literally Capt off with a toast from our Captain, a farewell to the hotel team, and a cast back of the recaps of all recaps with Sam walking us through the twelve last amazing days of our lives. The Captain’s dinner was our last “festival” for the trip and our last grand display and consumption of chocolate as well as to enjoy our new friends made on the ship. Tomorrow we will be saying good-bye, and hopefully in the future a new hello again. 33 10-22 FEB 2020 Volume 2, Issue 13
