• Back on land - at the end of the world

    January 18 in Argentina ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    Early morning call and breakfast.
    Disembarkation of the first guests and receiving a bunch of different government officials investigating the incident at Shag Rock. Divers in the water, and on top of that, insane wind gusts—I had to hold on to my glasses to avoid losing them on the pier. 😅💨🤓

    A lot of “see you soon” to the great staff of Ocen Albatros 🙏🏻

    The first half of the day I spent visiting other expedition ships in the harbor. It’s always interesting to see how our competitors and friends operate and how the ships look from the inside.

    I also caught a glimpse of Paul Allen’s private yacht, Octopus—quite impressive and somewhat scary that private individuals own a yacht with a 60-person crew waiting around for them to show up. A topic for another day.

    The later part of the day involved coffee meetings in Ushuaia, shopping for a few souvenirs, dinner in the Argentina meat restaurant La Estabcia 😋, and a couple of beers at the standard pub for guides, The Dubliner. 🥳

    Good to be back on shore and already looking forward to returning to Ushuaia—the end of the world, but what a beautiful end to that world. 🙏🏻
