    February 7 in Argentina ⋅ 🌬 11 °C

    We have a delightful time rocking and rolling last night. Unfortunately, it was not a wild ride but just gentle rocking.

    We had Biosecurity once again this morning so we packed up all of our outer layers and headed down to Landing Area.

    We had a quick breakfast before going to the Aula for the mandatory briefing to Land in Antarctic. In this briefing, they said no sitting or squatting. I wish they would have added that instruction sooner!

    It was back to the stateroom. I started to review the hundreds of photos we have taken.

    My photo "editing" was interrupted by an announcement that whales were sighted. We threw on our gear and spent some time out on the deck. There were TONS of blows in the distance. We saw as many as 5 blows at a time which just attests to the number of whales in the area. A couple of whales came close to the ship but we were on the other side of the ship so didn't get great pictures by the time we repositioned.

    We dropped our gear in the stateroom and headed up for lunch.

    It was then back to the stateroom. I did a bit of work.

    We listened to several lectures. I think we have pretty much caught up on all lectures.

    We have dinner tonight at Manfredi's.
