Day 4 - Damco Island Recap

Damco Island recap -

8:10 landing
Zodiac to beach. Penguins waiting for us on the beach.
Gravel beach.

Amazing penguin action pics.

Kayaking at 1:30.
Provided drysuits.
Normally pedal paddles, but they removed the pedal paddles cause they expected stronger currents and swells.
Saw ~10 whales, Humpback and Minke whales, many swimming Gentoo penguins and 1 very loud Gentoo, 1 Crabeater seal (that we thought was going to attack us), and a very large Leopard Seal chilling on an iceberg.

Minke whale surfaced ~100 ft in front of us and the guide said to tap the side of our kayak to let them know we were there so they didn’t surface under us.Read more
