Got another nice cruising day that was semi expected. Sad to not be able to see the penguins, but wallet is a little happier. Lots of time to start getting caught up on pictures.
Morning Announcement
Was getting ready to mentally wake up to my alarm, when the announcement tone went off in the speakers and I braced for the news that we were cancelled for our port call to Port Stanley. Captain Stig told us that it was way too windy and we were calling off the port call (smart call).
I promptly turned over and went back to sleep….or tried to go back to sleep. About 5 minutes later, they piped into the stateroom the announcement to make sure everyone had heard it. No worries, I turned again and went back to sleep.
Well, someone forgot to turn the setting back off, cause a little bit later, there were two more announcements that got piped into the stateroom with the daily activities announcement. I mostly put lotso over my ears and went back to sleep after both announcements, but eventually decided I was too awake to pretend to go back to sleep and crawled out of bed around 10am.
Much to my relief, my migraine was completely gone, and I felt great, so I headed up to go explore what the conditions were like.
Catching Up
Took the day to catch up on the THOUSANDS of pictures that I had, and had fallen behind on editing and posting — cause I’m not going to miss being present each day and enjoying the wildlife and views when we have them :D.
Got through Puerto Madryn Day 2, and started work on Day 3, with a little bit of attention every once in awhile to the Antarctica photos.
I came to the conclusion that I’ll NEVER get tired of looking at or remembering the sight of penguins in the wild, especially baby penguins. So much fun going back through and editing the photos though. It still is a fun activity for me, and helps me remember and brings a smile to my face as I almost re-live each experience as I go back through the photos to share back with people.
Caught up on the football games that had been going on and got to watch the other two games while editing photos. Kinda forgot how much fun it is to watch sports with people, especially when you don’t have a vested interest in the game, and aren’t constantly disappointed (minnesota sports….).
Food
Even though I didn’t eat all day yesterday, I wasn’t SUPER hungry all day, but went to dinner and got a caesar, the fish and chips and a toffee cheesecake. Mostly was quick cause I wanted to get back to the football games :D.
Vibe Check
4 parts joy – all in all, a great day to catch up on photos and some rest, a relaxing day
1 part sadness – being woken up through the speakers multiple times to be told we were missing the port, and missing the penguins (was really looking forward to the tour to see potentially 5 species of penguins).
