Frenchy’s Fracas

Well, the party is really coming to a close now.. Here are some pix of the ship that has helped us enjoy this excellent adventure, the Gregoriy Mikheev.

My favorite place on the ship - the smoking area on the 3rd deck!

Just love those hard colors

Not a lot happened but still: we boarded the Gregoriy Mikheev with their great Russian crew. After the introductions we had the safety drill the first evening (some pictures are just too sensitive to publish, heheh..). We had this fantastic evening cruise through the Beagle Channel, great views!
And then.. the two days of Open Sea started, passing through Drake Passage, 90% of the passengers were either seasick or were staying in bed just to avoid said sickness.. This happy passenger didn’t have any problems with the rough seas, although the first night in my sleeping bunk was a roller-coaster ride of an experience..
We got some lectures about the birds and penguins and such to pass the time, but mostly I spent my time finding a nice place for a quiet smoke and since smoking was only allowed on the outside decks, you can imagine that the heavy seas sure made me cut down on my daily smoking: healthy experience after all!
Finally, we reached some land and that was a great thing to experience.. Coz that evening we were going to do our first landing!

Didn’t get seasick, lucky me!

First iceberg, far, far away..

Nice view after all that sea..
