Weather: Seas still unsettled. During the night the ship almost jumped out of the ocean.
Lectures: from whalers to whale watchers.
Chatted to various guests and made firm contacts as a few would like to go to Greenland.
We had a fine farewell dinner with the ship anchored safely in the Beagle Channel. The sun set was colourful over the channel and the skies heavy and turbulent but the weather was fine.
The captain toasted the ship and the voyage and we had a good few moments of reflection as well as time to say our farewells to all we needed to. We find it is always better to greet everyone the night before departure as departure days are completely chaotic.
Dinner was delicious with prawns, a delicious salad, beef or meat and Baked Antarctica [not Alaska]. We sat with Eva and Morrie who will definitely be visiting us in South Africa sometime soon. A great couple, Eva is the Hotel Manager who does such a great job organising staff, meals and the dining room.
We made several toasts and everyone had a fine farewell dinner. The waiters brought in the dessert with much fun and laughter which was a fitting ending.
