Day 32
At Sea; Drake Passage and South
Atlantic
The sea day started out cloudy with
moderate swells. The visibility slowly improved throughout the day.
We lost one passenger from a medical emergency in the morning.
At 1405 we passed, port to port, the
MS Vollendam of Holland America Lines as she was heading to
Antarctica. We exchanged ships horns salutes as we passed and the
decks of both ships were populated with waving travelers.
Onboard we had port lectures and “sit
and stitch.” Oh yes, Mah Jongg too.
There are several cabins now without
adequate heat and those passengers are not happy about it. In
addition there are several cabins without hot water and have been so
for many days. The Princendam needs to have these as well as other
problems (electrical outages) addressed before another long voyage.
