We had a Füßball tourney over the past few days (single elimination brackets) and today, my partner and I won the championship. We received a kiss from one of the lovely Raytheon techs. Füßball is quite fun on the ship with the table moving around and the ball making strange arcs. We sailed through a storm for a couple of days, and it made for very rough seas (and slow going). Because of this, we were not able to go to South Georgia island which is a disappointment. We are scheduled to arrive in Chile on Sunday the 18th, and then a nice bevy of festivities as it is a national holiday in Chile (similar to the 4th of July). Other than the first day when I lost my breakfast, I have been feeling fine. Some people are still having a hard time getting used to it, and they are ready to get back to terra firma. Actually, all of us are ready to get onto land. We haven't been on land in over 2 months, and I really look forward to being able to take a walk. Now that we are in open water, we always have a plethora of birds following, but the albatross is the most fascinating to watch. They rarely flap their wings, just glide in the little turbulent eddies that came off of the ship.
