I’m happy to be aboard the National Geographic Explorer; it’s a wonderful ship with a great crew. I’m writing this as we’re rolling in heavy seas as we go through the Straits of Gibraltar with waves about ten feet tall. This picture I took when I first boarded the ship in Cadiz. Hopefully there will be more sunny days. I wish I could post more picture galleries, but the internet capacity on the ship is limited, so the images may have to wait until I get to Istanbul April 13th. Be patient everyone!
