This morning we are again in the “A” deck waiting for our turn at cruising in the Zodiacs. It’s set up well, the crew check you out and in after each activity.
The zodiacs always travel in pairs near each other. 
Our zodiac driver Daniel from SoCal! 
Lots of sea ice today
More amazing coastline 
A small iceberg 
With three resting penguins! And when you see penguins you must take at least 1,000 pictures of them😁
After our zodiac we headed to lunch and then the ship moved across the bay and we will prepare for our landing on the continent… so far the sun has remained bright and the winds calm. I’m hoping my energy and desire stay high for the landing. The steep slope of the last time just about did me in.
The view from our room as we sail into the next bay. Here is where we will do a landing on the actual continent.
On the zodiac heading to shore
We found a Waddel sea lion taking a nap not far from our path
Looking out from a hill at our ship
My new best friends
Still sleeping
Passengers walking on the crest. We made it a ways up the hill but walking in fresh,moist,icy snow just didn’t suit either of us so we headed back to the landing site to catch a zodiac back to the ship. When we got off, there was room on a SOB so we took a quick ride through the icebergs and sea ice. Im going to. Just post pictures with no narrative and just comment now that pictures do not do justice to the Antarctic.. and there aren’t enough superlatives to describe what we experience
here.
Sailing past the other Special Ops boat
Another seal napping
I just cant believe how special this place is!
No kidding it is special We are ramming the ice so the guest can get out and walk on the ice.
