January 2025: One zodiac ride experienced strong winds once out on the water. We were called back to ship but ship had to reposition to safely reboard us. That took awhile and we bounced along following ship. It was an adventure, no one felt unsafe, we have a story to tell! One group sang "yellow submarine"! Salt water waves crashing over us were greeted with laughter and enthusiastic shouts. We were drenched but waterproof parkas and pants did their job admirably. Cameras not placed into waterproof cases or tucked down into parkas were irreparably damaged. Speaking with 3 photogs who lost their gear, they did not let it diminish their spirits. This is a phenomenal experience and if you're debating, just GO!
