WAVE-WATCHING WITH THE BIRDERS

Today has been my day-off from classes, so I spent most of the morning working in the cabin. It’s been a glorious day outside on deck, however, so at a convenient point, I headed upstairs to join Tracey at the front of the ship, where the serious wildlife-gazers gather.

AT SEA AGAIN

Today, we were at sea again, on our way towards our next destination. Because I had a class on the last sea-day, it meant today was a non-class day for me.
