On the way home.....

We're in the Drake and headed north and should get into port on the
17th. Woo hoo! We had the crossing ceremony last night, was fun, our
unrehearsed skits and dances went well, King Neptune's court enjoyed
the show but still covered us in mud and slime anyway. Not as gross
as the equator crossing, and somewhat colder, but just as much fun
was had by all. Today has been a lazy day, did get up for breakfast
this morning and almost immediately came back and took a nap. Packed
up some chemicals and equipment, got all my packing paperwork in
hand, watched a movie, took another nap and am now about to go to the
lounge to hang out. It's such a long transit through the Drake it's
nice to take my time packing and take good note of what I have and
what I need to bring down for the next cruise. Lots of people packing
in the labs right now, so i've stayed out the way a little - knowing
I don't get seasick at all I know i'll still be able to pack in a
couple of days when others are laid up..........:0)
