    We will be held approximately one mile, to the South, East, of Isla Carlos III and hope to Zodiac cruise this morning and again this afternoon

    An amazing morning on the Zodiac cruise, seeing two male Kelp Geese fighting, these Geese mate for life so they were clearly fighting for territory, the loser flew off with his mate and was lucky to survive really. Moving along to a small outcrop we had South American Sea-lions, which were also doing a bit of jostling and then a group of Humpback Whales taking several deep dives so lots of tails and an amazing breach, but I don’t think anyone caught that on camera although I did get the tail end of it!

    At the moment a complete blanket of mist has totally surrounded the whole area, you can only see the one mountain peak from the ship, so hoping the sun burns that off, which amazingly it did half an hour later!

    We’re out cruising again on the Zodiacs this afternoon…
