We crossed the Drake Passage, which is supposedly the roughest patch of water in the world, a day early. Our wise Captain decided to skip our last port in Argentina and make the crossing ahead of a storm that was reported to have 30 - 40 foot swells. I was thankful to have this calm Dutch gentleman in charge, instead of a showboating Italian. Chilling to read about the tragedy of the cruise ship in Italy while on a cruise ship!
I woke up early, looked out the window and got my first glimpses of the White Continent - Antarctica!
