"I see no icebergs!" - Sir Admiral & Skipper are not happy. Once again they
have been let down. Months of pouring over charts during the winter
assessing where the ice limit is and how far south the bergs might be. And
when the penguins get within swimming distance, the boat turns south and
heads for the gulf stream.
Still, now that we have crossed the Gulf Stream temparatures have dropped
again and they can at last spend some time outside. Here seen with George,
our faithfull driver (apart from that sulk he had a week ago when he refused
to drive for 20 hours)
So, no ice. But maybe a couple of growlers!

ps - The penguins making a special appearance on account of it being Fathers
Day and that we are all young at heart.

Until now, there was an impression that it's a two handed race, but there seems to be a whole raft of (people)(penguins) stowaways on board!
ReplyDeleteOh life on the ocean wave - there seems to be never a dull moment guys and you still have your sense of humour - love the penguins and just watch out for those growlers!! G:)
