Random Musings


By the way it seems Roberto Cavalli was looking for inspiration for his next collection. My guess is lots of white with leopard seal flourishes.

You may be wondering about the makeup of the passengers. We were definitely the only gays out in the village. There were a couple of boys who could have been and a marine who was so far immersed in "don't ask don't tell" that she was monosyllabic and scowling every time we were near. She had a few laughs with her rugby playing girlfriends though so at least she has a life.

Half the people were under 50 which is supposedly a but unusual. There were over 50 from the US, three Swedes including Roberto's partner (and she wasn't blonde, she had long dark hair and under the excessive makeup was very pretty) on Kiwi - Helen (it went by passport) about 15 Canadians, 10 Aussies, some Germans, some Dutch and two South Africans. The expedition crew was mostly form the UK with one Kiwi and a couple of South Africans. The ship's crew were Polish and Fillipino.

Here are links for Polar Star expeditions and for expedition leader Hannah Lawson's art work web site in case you are interested.
