Hello!
Here just 4 days since we left Ushuaia, and we are already on the other side of the legendary Drake Passage. Excuse me for not giving our news before, but just imagine that for the first time since I sailed in sailing, I spent 3 days in difficult head to head with a bucket ... everything happens even seasick! Finally, seasick or not Moreover, it is a mystery, but the fact is that I was not very fit and well definitely not fit enough to put me behind a keyboard and strum.
Still, we're left Tuesday afternoon in favor of a favorable weather window, and that the crossing has been linked without a shadow of a concern. The cold has gained momentum and we look like every day a little more massive Bibendum, but beyond that, not much new!
Every morning we feast performing impromptu we give the number of birds inhabiting the Drake: Cape petrels, albatross, Storm petrels, giant petrels, etc.. It is an endless waltz that we see daily, and for the world we would not change our place for this show then.
At this hour, we let our first island to port, and watching for icebergs ... Discrete this year! The sun bathes the day in a beautiful light and we enjoy a breeze for us to run into evanescent image d'Epinal without unduly disturb the tranquility of this painting. In short, we come into this very moment in the magic of Antarctica ...
I leave you with these beautiful thoughts, and you rewrite quickly for you tell our landing, scheduled for tonight on Melchior, and obviously the result of our adventures!
Greetings Antarctic
Juliet for the crew of Paradise
