We're sailing in and out of the South New Zealand fjords today. Some of the passengers got off this morning in a driving rainstorm to go to Queenstown. We decided to stay on the ship so we have a good excuse to come back here. The weather has turned pretty nasty---wind, rain and rocky seas. It's nice to actually feel the ship moving around, I've been sleeping like a baby. We had dinner in Signatures last night and Ngaire and I both had lamb. Since it's Thanksgiving today, they're planning the whole turkey dinner thing in all the ships restaurants tonight. They're creating a dance floor in the Compass Rose so tonight will be a dinner dance. Tomorrow we will be in Dunedin and we're planning a trip to see the Blue Penguins. One more penguin variety in my quest to see all seventeen types of penguins. Hopefully we'll get to see nearly all the types when we're in Antarctica in January. Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
