Scott also reported that on his last trip, the inclinometer hit 40º for the ship’s roll, so Seth and I have our magic seasickness remedy all planned out–the “patch” and lot’s of wine! But this trip we won’t be seeing fur seals (at least I doubt it) as we are doing the Antarctic Circle trip and going South to at least 66º 33′ 39″.
I’m going to make really sure I keep my distance from seals–so I’ll be using my new 300mm F2.8 Canon lens for close ups! The ship’s doc Scott reported that on his last trip yet another passenger was bitten by a seal–this time the expedition leader–so maybe the seals are unhappy with all the tourists coming through their turf. Here’s Michael decked out with too many cameras from the first trip. Our ship leaves Ushuaia the evening of the 10th. There the four amigos will have a couple of days to hang and shoot before the rest of the group get down on the 9th. the 6th although we don’t get to Ushuaia until the nite of the 7th. The “gang” of JP Caponigro, Steve Johnson, Seth Resnick and myself are joining Michael Reichmann for another Antarctic Adventure. We’re getting the band back together and going on the road (well, the Drake Passage is more like it).
