Today was the day, the big
day of this cruise to step foot on the Falkland Island and visit Port Stanley.
Penguins live here along with
the British. The town is named for Lord Stanley, who I would know a lot more
aboot if the ships internet wasn’t so slow, and didn’t cost for every second
you are on line…So without researching Stanley I would guess that he either created the Stanley Cup hockey award, or invented Stanley Thermos bottles, and I am going to go with the Thermos Bottle as the air temperature has dropped, and being able to carry hot beverages around on this windswept island would have been very important.
The Colorful Town Of Stanley
Stepping out on the balcony
this morning It was cold. The tvee said it was 46. F We bundled up with gear
from home. Polar fleece vests, and motor company rain jackets, smart wool socks
and long trousers. We needed to stay warm we were headed to Volunteer point to
shoot King Penguins.
As we lined up to get our
numbers. Silver #1 today the mood was festive. Everyone was having a good time
and not paying attention to the 5 or 6 screening of the trailer for the dvd
that princess needs to sell you.Finely it was time to go. We shuffled down the stairs to the open shell door where we would board the tenders, except when our group got there the seas were angry, and too rough to operate the tenders.
We waited for a while and then going to shore was canceled.
The tenders bounced around
trying to get back to the ship and as soon as they were all on board, the
anchor was lifted and we headed out across the Southern Ocean for Cape Horn
You Can See That This Is Not A Photo Of A King Penguin It Is A Photo Of A Bottle Cap. Thanks Princess
