"Tomorrow morning the eternal boat ride ends," noted the report from Royal Polaris December 10, "and fishing begins. To say we are anxious and ready is an obvious understatement. As great as the weather has been, it's even better today and for the first time a lot of the shirts have come off and it's not too hard to work up a sweat. There's really not too much to add. This morning and early afternoon there was chaotic activity as every one had lots of last minute things to do, but the crescendo has now been reached and it's mostly time for contemplation some of which is in the form of afternoon naps. Tune in tomorrow and see if the action plays out as scripted."
