Our new guests embarked MS Fridtjof Nansen full of anticipation after their flight from Buenos Aires.

After the obligatory safety drill before departure, our Captain, Frank, informed us that the weather was conspiring against us, with strong winds keeping our ship pinned to the pier. This is an expedition, so flexibility is essential.

When we finally began our journey down the Beagle Channel and into the infamous Drake Passage, we all wondered if it be the 'Drake Lake' or the 'Drake Shake'? Only time will tell.
