During the final two plays of the tournament, the Captain finally captures the title (again!), winning three games in row. Monika put up a good fight and shows her sportsmanship even after defeat.

Yeah, we’re steaming home! I got gymnastically inspired.

The Captain continues his reign, having been beaten only twice ever! So, the championship trophy stays on Atlantis.

Brian got his finger smashed by the lid of the biobox — now it’s all wrapped up! Ouch!

Joe, Alison, and Kristy finish up some last-minute tasks.


Irene and Tara make preparations for tomorrow’s arrival.



The scientists are called to assist the Alvin group in carrying an old line up from the lower deck to the main deck, where it was coiled for later disposal.

The gigantic squid that Brian caught the other night was put to good use at tonight’s cookout. It was one of 22 squid caught during the cruise (including the one I caught a while ago), all of which ended up on the grill! They were seasoned, sliced up, and served by Eddie. I was surprised by how good they tasted.

Chrissy and Raul display their glow sticks in more traditional ways.

By the end of the night, the deck became a dance floor. Here, Eddie twirls Kristy.
