Day 3/25, Wednesday, January 29, 2020: At Sea

At sea today and tomorrow before stopping at Puerto Madryn. This morning, they held an introductory presentation for the Antarctic Expedition portion of the cruise. There are nine expedition members on board. Their job is to safely get us from the ship to the Antarctic shore and guide us while there. The group consists of an assortment of people with scientific backgrounds including geology, history, animal science, photography and climatology. I already have attended a couple of their lectures and they are fascinating to listen to.

At 2:00 pm this afternoon, Maria is interested in attending the Arts & Crafts class doing watercolors. At 3:00 pm, Expedition member Danny Edwards (historian) will give a presentation on "Battle of the Atlantic".

This evening we have an 8:00 pm reservation at La Dame, the French restaurant.
