Report From the Southern Hemisphere

Check out these photos from my friend Bob Harkins who is on his way to Antarctica
to sail aboard the bark Europa.  Bob says, "Yesterday I rode a catamaran through the channel between Argentina and Chile on the way to the sea." "We made a couple of stops and two fly-bys of small islands so we could greet the locals. We didn't get off the boat on Penguin Island. The captain just put the bow on the beach." " This whole area is surrounded by snow capped mountains. It's cloudy most days of the year. It gets to almost 60 on the warm days. Ushuaia is the southern most city in the world and is full of lots of very friendly people. Clearly my Spanish needs work. I'm not sure what I ordered for dinner last night, but the waiter returned with a shoe and a banana." 
  Thanks, Bob!
