At sea between Puerto Madryn
and the Falkland Islands

Tuesday 13th November 2018
 
 
How to wear your waterproof over-trousers. Don't tuck them into your boots!
 
We were impressed by the commitment to bio-security, which extended to landings on the Falkland Islands. One example of this is that our boots had to be thoroughly scrubbed and disinfected before EVERY landing, even if only a few miles from the previous landing. Luckily, we had staff on hand to help us do this... especially Kristine!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
A man on a mission!
 
One of my favourite birds - the Cape Petrel, also known as Pintado (painted) Petrel.
 
 
 
 
 
In the evening, we went to the Captain's welcome cocktail party, followed by dinner.
 
 
Our captain with our expedition leader, Pam.
 
Derek and I were lucky enough to be invited to dine with the Captain.
 
 
 
Chef Jörg did us proud and the personalised desserts were a nice touch.
 
Another day at sea tomorrow, with a hint that a landing might be on the cards in the late afternoon.
