My Antarctic Barbecue Party



My Antarctic Barbecue Party
Wendell Sea
December 2007

When I was told we were going to have a barbecue on the upper deck of our ship, I thought the idea was ridiculous.  We were in the middle of the ocean in Antarctic.  That small detail did not seem to bother the crew.  So we all participated, in the cold, in a snow storm, on the Weddell Sea.  We had spare ribs which proved to be a challenge for me.  I couldn't handle the ribs with my heavy duty mittens.  So I would have to take a mitten off, quickly pick up my rib, take a bit, put it down and put my mitten back on. Drinking my warmed wine was also a challenge, not impossible, but a challenge.
