And the winner is …
Chuck won the final photo contest tonight. The National Geographic and wildlife photographers complimented him on the composition of the winning photo today but they also said they were recognizing his body of work all week and that his photos had been in contention every day. Donna says thank heavens that he won as life might not have been worth living if Chuck had been the only one of the three serious (though nonprofessional) photographers in our group who didn’t win.
Drake Lake (not!). The return passage has had lots of rockin’ and rollin’ as the ship moves through big swells. One thing can be said with certainty: this is a heavily medicated group of passengers at the moment. Though not as calm as our first journey through the passage, apparently this is still quite smooth compared to what it could be.

That is so cool that all three photographers won!! Is one of the above photos Chuck’s? I still can’t believe that he went swimming in Antartica!
