What was: Day 37 - The once-in-a-lifetime iceberg and the potatoe boat

Sometimes you get up in the morning and see this:



AND THEN SOMETIMES YOU SEE THIS:



Let's take another look, this time with the knowledge that this thing is 60 m (yes, 180 ft) tall. Note the zodiac in the foreground:



And one more angle for good measure:



Eh, another:



Amazing! And the adventures do not stop there! Today we had another ship drill, except this time we deployed the lifeboats. They needed (or...maybe allowed) a few volunteers to come along for the ride. First, however, they packed the lifeboats full so we got to see what it would be like to fit in there in a real emergency. In a word: squashed.



Then most everyone left except for the bravest/the ones with the craziest hats.



And then it was potatoe boat time!



It rides - guess what - like a potatoe in the water. Ours leaked, but Dan the engineer saved us.



Everyone loves the potatoe boat. The potatoe boat could save your life.
