Clyde Roper gave his final lecture of the trip called “Here’s Looking at You, Squid” and

it turned out to be his very best. He used slides of various cartoons and comic strips,

many of which were hilarious, to illustrate various facts he had previously introduced

to us about the cephalopods, especially squids and octopi. We all greatly enjoyed this

approach and he got lots of appreciative laughter.

John gathered us all together at 5:45 PM to tell us about tomorrow’s excursions on

the Falkland Islands and we were glad to know that we will not be repeating any of

the landings we made in February 2002, except for Port Stanley of course. Tomorrow

we will be visiting a Magellanic penguin rookery at Port Williams and then we will get

three hours in Stanley.
