28:The 2nd Miracle in Drake Passage!





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.


★ Black-Browed Albatross




★ Wondering Albatross




When I was enjoying bird watching, the evening and the dinner time came.

    

After the dinner, I got back to the deck again.
The such a beautiful sunset at Drake Passage. Mesmerizing!!



Luck or unluck, we couldn't experience any rough water after all.
I slept comfortably without rowing movement.
