Sea Day - Drake Passage

Today was a sea day on our way back to Ushuaia. We travel back through the Drake Passage again. Luckily the winds are not too bad and the ship is not rolling around too much.
We had a Galley tour with an executive chef and it's amazing how efficient the kitchen is. Everything is stainless steel and spotless. Obviously to keep any contamination out. The dishwasher washes, sterilizes and dries in 90 seconds, and is very large.
Then we signed up for a Bridge tour. The ship is fully automated with all redundant systems. Large touch screens everywhere that use GPS accurate to 6 inches. They still have active watchmen on the bridge and can navigate without all the technology using charts and the same equipment ancient sailors used.Weiterlesen
