While on a previous Semester at Sea voyage with a group of photographers we had a contest to capture an image of a ship silhouette passing in front of the setting (or rising) sun. This image taken from the deck of the MV Explorer traveling from Italy to Spain wouldn’t count since the sun wasn’t low enough yet.
While we were traveling between Mexico and Guatemala on the MV Explorer, my father was playing a game of Scrabble on his notepad. I don’t know who he was playing. The score was 42 to 30, and the words played were BIG, BOX, REX, RAVE, LENT, and TENT.
The wind and waves were not as bad as the Hurtigruten MS Fram continued traveling south and west from South Georgia to Antarctica. Still not many folks were up and around either in the observation deck or in the dining rooms. I didn’t take any sea-sick medication and was doing fine as long as I kept eating the meals and could view the horizon. The ship’s musician was playing Procol Harum “A Whiter Shade of Pale” on the piano in observation deck in the background during this short video clip recorded on a Leica T camera.
