At Sea between South Georgia and the Sandwich Islands

Yesterday was a good day for everyone, really.  Those that went out on the Zodiac cruise at Cooper Island for 90mins enjoyed it despite the wind, cold and at times snow.  They did get some great pics.  Then later in the day we sailed around to another landing at Gold Cove.  This was amazing, we were surrounded by glaciers and there was a great deal of activity in the waters eg. seals, penguins and birds.  It snowed there, too.  The beach was covered with penguins and seals along with some huge elephant seals.  

Dinner was fun, everyone is so nice.  We are all pretty much best friends (!!) by now except for a foursome of Russians who generally keep to themselves.  There is another guy, Loch, who is different - as one lady put it ‘he doesn’t appear to have a filter’.  

Woke this morning to the rattle of cans rolling from side to side in the fridge cupboard. And there was almost a tsunami in the shower, but it’s amazing how quickly you adapt to all kinds of conditions!  At around 8 am we passed Clerk Rocks, a group of interesting rocks with a small iceberg nearby.  Then there were The Office Boy Rocks nearby and half an hour later a rather large iceberg with fragments of ice dotting the ocean surrounding it. 

I just went to a lecture on Volcanos.  Caught bits, which were interesting, but with the rolling of the ship I was forced into a few nanna naps!!!  Next item on the agenda is a demonstration on martini making.
