Number 7 accomplished!

Here's Mom:

It has been the most amazing 3 days, the crossing of Drake's Passage wasn't very bad, I used my patch and it worked well. We got through the passage fast, did it in a day and a half, instead two days. So Friday afternoon we got a surprise stop at Aitcho Island, where we were able to land. The zodiac's are fun, you go down the steps and step onto the side, then step down into the boat, then sit down on the side and slide along to the next person. You grab the ropes and hold on tight and off you go, across to the beach. There were groups of Chinstrap Penguins and one King Penguin standing all alone. The smaller Chinstrap's would run up to the King, stop look at him, then turn around and run back to the group. There was a great deal of snow and walking was hard in places, but I was able to move around on the flat. Back on the boat it was time for dinner and bed, it is still light when we go to bed, very strange.

This morning the wake up call was 6:30, for our group to do the day's landing. We went to Brown's Bluff, which is the mainland. So I did it all seven continents, before I am 70. The place was amazing, Gentoo and Adelie Penguins and one lone seal asleep on the beach. This is the most amazing and fascinating place on earth. We are seeing icebergs everywhere and they go from just bits, called Bergy Bits, to some so large that they look like floating football fields. We are having an absolutely amazing time. We will be off somewhere later today, still to be announced.

More later.
