hi, we made it past the polar circle yesterday. it was a very rough trip
getting down here. neither one of us had dinner that night. everything
in our room ended up on the floor as it slid all over the place. one
lady´s chair in her room even tipped over. there´s a lot of ice and ice
bergs down here. now i know what the significance of the polar and Arctic
circle are. they relate to the summer and winter solstice. on that day,
they can see the sun 24 hours a day. we were supposed to land on an
island, but it was blocked by icebergs, huge ones. so they we split into
groups and went out on the zodiacs, but we didn´t get to go due to
weather. we were really bummed. it was very nice an unseasonably sunny,
so i have some good pictures. we had to head north again, back in the open
ocean last night. it was supposed to be rough again, but it wasn´´t to
bad. i got your email, thanx for letting me know about Gracie. love and
miss you lots, bob
