Foster, surprised, is holding his hair, which was just shaved during the Pillars of Hercules day.

Let me start off by saying the past two weeks have brought the highest highs and lowest lows on my voyage, thus far. We started off by being (essentially) denied entry into Spanish waters due to our high number of COVID-19 cases onboard but then we were delighted with a day (more like 10 hours) in Gibraltar! Oh… and I might have shaved my head (see above!).
