Didn’t manage a landing today (Thursday 7 March) after all. The strong winds did not really abate and when the Captain dropped anchor at West Point on the west coast of the Falklands, he discovered that it was not holding. In the circumstances, no one had much difficulty with his decision to move on! It was no surprise either as the wind on deck was frightening.
Still lots of wildlife to see as the boat was surrounded by ocean birds, including albatrosss and penguins, for most of the day.
We will make one final attempt to land early in the morning (Friday 8th) at 07.00am (10am GMT).
