BATTLES AND BEARDS Tension runs high as the finalist teams compete for the coveted championship title of the 1st annual Fender and Firehose competition. Bedlam erupts when the opening whistle is blown and before it is over, only one team can emerge the victor. The play was intense as each team struggled to force the fender into the other teams goal any way possible. When the final whistle was blown, EMs had emerged as the undisputed champions of the 1st annual Glacier Bowl. On your mark, get set ... GROW! The GLACIER beard-growing contest was on! Contes- tants spent minutes; some, hours, training and preparing for the start of this contest. Preparation for some included shaving 2 or 3 times in one day to stimulate growth to find out who among the crew was the closest throwback to our primordial ancestors. Starting 21 December, the contest raged until shortly before arriving in Montevideo. Awards were given for: thickest, thinnest, shaggi- est, and scroungiest beards to be judged by the females. Pictured above are the victors in this hotly contested Battle of the Beards. 91

On the fantail, a couple of lines are over the side in hope of catching tomorrows lunch and half a dozen others are relaxing, watching the sun- set. Just about anything that could be done at home could be found some- where onboard if you looked hard enough. Glacier Beach was a theater, sun-tan parlor, and sports arena rolled into one. Our infamous Big Daddy could always be found brushing up on his gambling skills in one of the many poker games. Big Daddy ' s casino and the high rollers 93
