Today has been OMG beautiful! Photos unfortunately just do not convey the magnificence of Antarctica.

This is just a float by, not an expedition. I saw penguins on ice floes and in the water, Weddell and crab eater seals on ice shelves, Minke whales, and a humpback whale barely two metres away from my balcony! Plus research stations and stunning scenery.

Beautiful and brings back great memories. I have several of my Antarctic photos on my wall

I see from Cruise mapper that you've just transited the channel east of Anvers Island that we did 2 years ago, but this time you turned left, not right :) . Usually a good way to go.
 
Today's office is the Australian Wooden Boat Festival on the Hobart docks.


Tall ships. Magnificent sight.

Except of course they got it wrong. Most Worcestershire sauces are made with anchovies. So yes to seafood, but definitely not vegan. Or if it is vegan, it cannot by definition contain seafood. *sigh*

(Spring Gully Worcestershire sauce is the only vegan one I know of.)

I didn’t pick that up but yes how on earth can it be vegetarian when it contains seafood?
