We have found that when we have Day(s) At Sea, we have a full schedule. There are always too many activities to do them all. We had rough seas with swells of 19′ high. This caused our ship to Rock and Roll, or pitch and yawl for you sailers. Most days have a dance class at 2 pm, dancing in the bar at 6:30 & 9:15, and the Panorama Lounge at 10:15. Today our Cruise Director Fernando joked that all you had to do was to show up and the ship movement would do the dancing for you.

We were taught more about the Geopolitics of South Georgia Island. It was like going to our own World Affairs Council. We are fortunate to have iPhone, iPad, iCloud, and basic photography training to help us take better pictures. This evening’s highlights were a performance by Czech Violinist Jakub Trasak playing Pop Music. He has to be one of the best in the world. Even at Sea, were able to see the Super Bowl Game, although without the traditional commercials.
