Heading Back to Ushuaia – February 24

We are in the Drake Passage heading back to Ushuaia for the last time this season. Once we drop the passengers, the ship makes a crossing to Europe and will spend the summer in Europe and the Arctic. We are having the calmest Drake crossing yet - I don't even feel like the ship is moving. It is amazing. I have been busy wrapping things up on the ship. I spent the entire day yesterday working on the end of trip slide show so that I could have the day free today to pack and enjoy the ship. On our first night of the crossing, we had a farewell staff party. We started it with a BBQ on the back deck with just the expedition staff and moved to the crew mess for another dance party. It was great.

I have attached a photo of the staff so you can put some faces to names.
