Today was another relaxing sea day as most of the passengers on the ship got ready to disembark in Valparaiso tomorrow. Executive Chef Beni and his team put together one more special event for lunch – a Cake Buffet of decadent delights overseen by two dolphins. Tim and I managed to sample several offerings, and I partook of the Irish coffee prepared by bartender Dom.

The big event of the day was The Great Pacific Race, which finally took place after days of waiting for calmer seas. Captain Ivo pulled the ship into Bahia Tongoy, and the zodiac races began. There were two races, each with eight zodiacs, and the top four teams competed in a final race to determine the winner. The twist was that the six passengers on each zodiac had to paddle their way to the finish line. The wind and waves did not deter the brave souls from attempting to reach their goal, but the efforts were quite amusing to watch.

The race was a fun attempt by the Expedition Team to permit passengers to enjoy some of the “toys” on board, since none of the zodiacs, kayaks, or special operation boats were deployed during this segment of the cruise.
