Happy New Year

This is the blog for 31st December - though I am writing this at (local time) 00.45 on January 1st 2013. We seem to have been celebrating New Year all evening in recognition of passengers' different home time zones - the Aussies were first.

A very quite day at sea -so just one picture of  a Cape Petrel...

Happy New Year to all our followers and friends - from the the middle of Drake's Passage; which luckily for us is still "Drake's Lake".  It's certainly the strangest place we have celebrated New Year!
