Drake's Passage

Yesterday was a nice relaxing day. There was the usual formality of collecting boots, and there were interesting talks throughout the day.

By the time it was my group's turn to collect boots, , there were no size 4 boots left. I'm a UK 2 (EU 34), and 4 is the smallest size available so I make do. I was given a size 5 so that is 3 times my foot size. It will be interesting to see if I step out of them when walking. I will put on extra socks to take up the space. We could have kept our boots from the previous cruise and put them in the cabin temporarily during turnaround but we forgot.

It is last day of 2025 and we are having a bit of snow it is lovely. It is also foggy and visibility isn't brilliant so Paul has had to go on fog watch.

There will be New Year celebrations this evening but I will probably be asleep by that time. I hope Paul won't be on ice or fog duty tonight.

Wishing everyone a good year for 2026!Read more
