observation areas it's a little tricky to get to so you come through the passenger corridor through a couple doors off to the port side and it's the water's edge we're going to head out front see the conditions as we sail through the drink passage today today it's actually quite long so we're enjoying some mild weather on our way to antarctica [Music] it's the first day on board here so we have a lot of briefings this morning in the main theater a little break between now so we are taking advantage of them through the paula's pantry which has to grab and go foods all day and great little gathering space here all right we're done with our morning briefings right now so uh stop back in the room for a little bit before lunch and i want to show you what it looks like outside from here not much around so far we're in the middle of nowhere sailing to the most remote place on earth i'm going to show you this cabin tour in a separate video i'm going to link that in the description box below so keep a look out for that but now we're heading off to lunch [Music] lunch is done it's time for an afternoon workout this is the gym here on the ship it's a small little facility but it looks to have a lot of the stuff you would need to uh exercise get in your morning workout i'm sure you're pretty active when you're short all the time so i'm gonna use this to supplement my activities this week [Music] so we're down in the mud room now this is the area where you can store your parkas and boots when you get on and off the boat and we're doing our sizing today we've got a pair of twelves let's get that out for ya the fitting's just another part of the process to get you all set up for your voyage and your expedition activities and now we're going to move on to the biosecurity check where they check all your backpacks and outer layers to make sure they're not damaging the environment when you visit here this has been a full day of activities on board here but we are getting close and it is beautifully sunny out yeah that's the other thing calm as can be we are quite lucky sailing the great passage and we are supposed to arrive to deception island and we're going to go to whalers bay tomorrow and that'll be later in the afternoon so we are getting excited we're almost at antarctica right now we're gonna have the captains welcome toast here in the atlas lounge and then we'll head to dinner [Applause] our first glimpse of some sea birds we come out to the back of the ship this is an incredibly sunny day it's like 6 30 at night we can come out here and check out all the birds there's one way over there you'll never see it in this camera but what an amazing day we're lucking out big time we're gonna head down to porto that's the main dining room we've had lunch there earlier today and then we'll have dinner and maybe hit the lounge again for a little night cap oh thank you so they have this area set up for a buffet during the lunch time which we enjoyed this afternoon but now we are going to join a group for dinner you can see it's all white tablecloths looking nice in here now and we'll be at this large table thank you closing out a full day here on board the ship we're gonna have a cocktail at the dome it's a lounge right at the top of the ship on deck 7 and it is in the front there's some great viewing areas here as well as a unique feature the largest dome at sea good morning day two on board world navigator and we are just hours away from our first destination still pretty close sailing but uh the winds have picked up a little bit a little chilly here we have uh about four hours of darkness during the uh we get sunset around 11 p.m and sunrise around 3 a.m here so this is what it's like on the cusp of summertime right here this is deck seven i showed you the uh dome lounge yesterday and this is the pool area lido deck which is closed while we're sailing in these rough waters obviously but hopefully they get this opened up soon and the hot tub going and kind of a cool thing to swim here in antarctica birds join us on the route that's awesome how they ride the currents here you get petrols and albatross have been off the ship for almost the whole journey and this is the uh seven amps grill and bar also not open because the conditions aren't ideal for them to be operating up here uh one deck up there's a little uh walking track i'll poke my head up there and see if it's not too windy to give you a look [Music] [Music] actually not too bad up here at all today this is quite nice if you think about it being this close to antarctica and sailing uh through a very calm drake passage and we've gotten pretty lucky i'm not heading out to breakfast now [Music] [Music] so there's been a little change plan here today not
