Wilhelmina Bay & Portal Point

In Wilhelmina Bay the Captain managed to settle the ship in the ice plate but it took quite a few goes before the ice stopped breaking. As we didn't go up to the Bridge nor the bow of the ship, we took photos from our balcony, and the t.v. showing scenes from the bow camera.

The route plotted for the ice walk was shorter than the previous walk because of cracks in the nice near the bow of the ship but they didn't get any larger and staff were on high alert in case it 'zipped' open a channel. Zodiacs were on the edge of the ice with their drivers waiting and watching just in case. Those that went on the ice enjoyed themselves.

Paul and I decided not to go. The weather wasn't that great and also Paul had to be on the bridge so it would have been too rushed for him.

After a morning of fun for guests, the ship sailed to Portal Point where zodiacs took them ashore. By the time it was my group's turn to go ashore, the weather was miserable outside so I decided not to go.Baca lagi
