After Sea Spirits left South Shetland Islands, sailed north
through Drake Passage and headed for Usuaia.
|
The 1st time at the Drake Passage, the sky was cloudy
and the sea was gray. But then, the sky turned very clear and
|
become cobalt blue. in summer, I wanna jump into the water.
A Funny Conversation!!
|
Me: If it's summer, I would jump in right now!!
Tour conductor: Oh! Good! It's summer here now! just do that!!Dive in!!
|
Me: Oh... No...
For the 1st time, the water was very calm. So I expected Drake Passage
|
to get rough for the 2nd time. But it was also much clamer than the 1st time
we went through the passage. It looked as if I was at the Osaka Bay.
|
It was the 2nd miracle!! Tha Drake Passage rarely has clear days.
There are only 10 fingers count of clear days at Drake Passage. |
But we had very calm moment while sailing through Drake Passage.
All the tour conductours were very surprised and felt strange.
|
They said, "No way!! It can't be happnening again" together.
I, who expected storm, was very unhappy and ran into the bridge,
|
and asked the staff about the weather. Then he gave his smile
and peace sign to me and said, "Very Good! No Problem!!"
|
I was so disappointed to learn about the calm Drake Passage...
So I refreshed my mind enjoying bird watching on the deck. |
