At midnight crew on the NB Palmer had their own New Year's celebration. Not to be out done by the people in Times Square and elsewhere around the world, we had our own ball drop. Ten seconds before midnight the countdown started and at midnight the large orange float hit the deck, ringing in the new year. Best wishes from everyone on the Palmer, at midnight position was 63 48 S, 56 48 W.
