Where's in the world are the Hoban's this time?

Tom, Cheryl, Dane, Danya and their friends, Derik and Jennifer Werner
                    take the trip (and cruise) of a lifetime to Antarctica.
Greetings from Patagonia:

 Lunch

 exploring the country side at the bottom of South America

 getting ready to board the ship,

All well except one major snafu - 80 Knott winds has delayed out expedition by 24 hr so far. Crap.
Hope to sail soon.

Dane made it and hooked up as planned.

We are still stuck in Ushaiua - the end of the world.

Cheers.

Tom

later Tom writes:

Very different trip, definitely an expedition, started w/ 26 hr wind delay.

Overnight sail to Falkland’s first, zodiac tour to land for penguins 

and albatross nesting included a CPR and medivac for an older man! 

Now on a 3 day sail - no land - to South Georgia. Days are lazy - rocking w/ the ship

Eating 3 times a day, 3 lectures a day, reading playing games, looking at amazing sea birds

and looking for whales and seals. Tomorrow we hit land again after 3 days at sea! 

King penguins will be the big one here along w/ many many birds and seals. From the far south
