You are famous! I heard a story about you on the radio today with interviews and all sorts of stuff about your trip and how it's going. I'm really glad that this has been brought to light to a fair amount of people. I even was pleasantly surprised to hear Maddie Nyblade's voice on the radio speaking on the subject of Antarctica. Did you know that she wants to do exactly what you're doing. Although really who wouldn't. And wow, you did see some dolphins that's amazing in the big straight. Your journals are very factual and pose some interesting things about how powerful the currents can be around there. SIX hundred times the size of the amazon in terms of water movement! That's incredible. And at ten miles an hour wow that must seem like an unattainable destination to get to Palmer Station. I read that you visited the ships first mate to get some information on your trip bearings and things, this is all well and good but what is there to do for fun on the boat? I think I would go crazy if I had a week on a relatively small boat. And yes you did understand correctly that that is a true story indeed. It was very exciting to watch the movie knowing how big of a role my dad played even if they didn't give him credit for it. Anyway I participated in vocal valentines today and I went around for six periods singing to people in there classes. That was a fun time although I got a bit tired of singing the same songs for a long period of time. I must have sung My Girl fifty times and Stand By Me fifty times as well.
Happy Valentines day although I'm sure you've heard this so many times today.
