Day 125: February 1, 2025 – Ushuaia Argentina to Drake Passage
Last night, I waved good-bye to my Odyssey home as it sailed away without me. This morning, I boarded my new home for the next 11 days, the World Explorer.
I’m sharing a cabin with Wendy, another Odysseyean. Our cabin is an upgrade from what I have on the Odyssey – it’s got a balcony! Not bad considering this last-minute deal cost me $5,000 for what is normally a $17,000 cruise.
Tonight, around midnight we enter Drake Passage. The weather is looking promising so far. Our WiFi may be limited from here on, so I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to post. But I’m off to see the penguins!

Prayers for Drake passage…
How exciting!! And what a deal!
Of course you must!
Your words have become my new mantra. An excuse for doing almost anything.
I am very happy to hear that the journey to Anartctica which has been a bee in your bonnet for at least a decade is about to happen. What a treat it must be.
Indeed it has. And I finally get to check it off my list
