Touchdown in Antarctica Sound!

The day was perfect... 41 degrees and sunny... the water was crystal clear and 34 degrees... bergy bits all around... no current, so swimming had been approved by the excursion leader... I had my inspirational Danny Woodhead Patriots shirt on... Melanie had worn her borrowed bathing suit on... we're both nervous but determined... no excuses... no turning back...


Our Antarctica Swimming Club Certificates have been secured. Here are some other pictures leading up to the big moment above:

Yes, those are iceberg "bergy bits" in the water

"No turning back"

"Oh God, I can't believe I'm doing this."

Melanie enjoys the moment of truth
