Just a quick update. Last night I did the traditional 'polar plunge' by jumping off the pier into the water. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but there was alcohol involved which might have taken off the edge. The roughest part was running the 50 yards barefoot in the snow to the hot tub. I uploaded the pictures to the photo album. I think they are still G-rated. :)
We leave Palmer tomorrow morning, so we have moved aboard the ship. Last night was my last night sleeping on land. For the next 4-5 days, my email will be back to:

The wind really picked up last night and it has been raining lightly on and off. I don't think that I've ever had it rain while there is a lot of snow on the ground. In any case, the captain said that the last crossing was probably the best in 12 years. Then he supposedly said that because of unusually long string of fairly good crossings, he is due for a 'good shellacking'. Hopefully not. :)
