Sunday at Palmer

Sundays are great days at Palmer; almost everyone has the day off, including the chefs, so everyone fixes their own meals, hangs out in the lounge or bar or galley, reads the paper, and comics.... the instrument tech is baking bread, and others are already out hiking for the day. I'm working, albeit at a slower and more social pace than other days, sitting on the couch in the galley. It was very windy last night, so the boat had to actually turn on its engines to stay at the pier.

We leave tomorrow at 10:00 Chilean time. We had daylight savings last night, so fell back (it's fall down here) and got an extra hour's sleep. I hope it's good weather tomorrow, as we'll go through the Newmayer, which can be just gorgeous. You can track our progress at this link which is pretty cool.

I hope to hike up the glacier today after lunch, and then finish up some work. With a little luck, I'll find a card game or two, too!
