1/3/2023 (Good afternoon!) – Just do it! 🇦🇶

Well, I just did it! “It” is SUP, which is an acronym for “stand up paddle-boarding” and I was very lucky to be a part of a group of 6 others who went SUPing in the Southern Ocean. We saw a humpback whale, lots of penguins swimming, navigated around icebergs from a safe distance, and were so close to the water! I will never forget this one. Started from my knees and eventually worked my way up to standing.

Working on my courage to stand up! SUP in the Southern Ocean (aka Antarctic Ocean)
The ocean was like glass! And when my legs stopped shaking, it was one of the coolest experiences.

FYI – had trouble with this post and it posted like 4 times. I have deleted the others and may have accidentally deleted comments – apologies!!

Wow! Just wow. Unbelievable experience. Thanks to our guide, Sarah, for the lessons and the incredible spot to SUP!
