Our first Zodiac tours were to begin at 6AM this
morning. At 4AM they woke us with
a public announcement that the winds were 45 knots and we would be cancelling
our tours for the day. Two hours
later we arrived at an alternate location, Charlotte Bay. This is a true hurricane hole
surrounded by 5,000-foot mountains and glaciers. The wind all day was no greater than 5 knots, the sky was as blue as the water and the temp rose to 45 degrees. Ours was the last departing ride at 1:30. Calm waters, bright sun and icebergs
all around. I think it was the
best Antarctica has to offer.
