Jim McClintock

It’s Tuesday morning and we’re getting ready to hear Jim McClintock give one of
his last lectures on the Antarctica cruise. We’re all nicely relieved as we’re experiencing the calmer side of Drake Passage, which is commonly referred to as Drake Lake (gentle swells). We were dreading the return through the Drake Passage, as we experienced Drake Shake (up to 35 feet waves) on the way down to Antarctica.

Yesterday I did not feel as inclined to write as it was our last day of icebergs and Zodiac excursions. I wanted to savor the day in its entirety.
