Half Moon Island

Yesterday was a sea day after Ushuaia and we had dinner with an Australian couple. There were supposed to have been 2 other guests but they couldn't make it in the end. It didn't matter because we still enjoyed the evening.

The ship made good time so it arrived at Half Moon Island by around midday.

It is very windy outside - up to 50 knots or 92km/hr. Despite the strong wind, the expedition team attempted to go ashore and set up a walk for guests so that they go ashore. The expedition team on the sister ship, the Venture, had attempted to do a landing but decided not to, so it was amazing that the team on the Pursuit managed, despite very strong winds.

I put my foot outdoors to take a few pictures from the bow of the ship and I was blown about. Because of the strong winds, and the fact that I was very tired I decided not to go ashore. I have been before, but in better conditions. I ended up having a nap instead.Read more
