NOT QUITE SO ROCKY

Everyone is monitoring the sea conditions very closely, with us due to be arriving at the Falklands tomorrow. The good is news is that the sea doesn’t seem to have been quite so choppy today. There’s still quite a wind blowing, and the front of the ship has been closed off as a precaution, meaniing the birders have been confined...

EMERGENCY DRILL AND MAGIC BAG DAY

BUENOS AIRES (DAY TWO)

The good news is; the SD Card restore was 100% successful. Today, as if yesterday was not punishment enough, we walked another 8 miles. The day started out cooler, though; quite a pleasant temperature to walk in, in fact, with even a slight breeze. Todays walk was a different intinerary entirely.
