Kerryquito and I were honored to join Pam and Howdy on their trip to Antarctica, South Georgia and the Falkland Islands!
We helped navigate the crossing of the Drake Passage.
This ship cabin is really comfortable!
In Antarctica - what a magical place - we realized that we are ready to adopt a little one ... a little penguin, that is.
Pengiquito was waiting for us on South Georgia and here we are in the Tusset Grass on the Falkland Islands. A trip to remember!
Ode to Ralph
There once was a young man named Ralph.
With Lindblad, he sails 60 degree south.
He can make a fur seal yawn,
Just like it was a pawn.
Now we wonder if he can even make it laugh!
“Opportunities for great photos abound!
Keep it simple, don’t clutter the background.”
He’ll pilot you in zodiacs,
To see penguins and kodiaks.
Missed the shot? He’ll take you back around.
On the ship intercom, he spoke with urgency.
Some might think it would cause an insurgency.
“There are icebergs in sight,
And the light is just right,
What we have here is a photo emergency!”
“How to take better pictures?” students ask.
He does not have to ponder the task.
“To get pictures that are aces,
Simply go to better places.”
That is why traveling with Ralph is such a blast!
