THE FALKLANDS

DAY 1 (51 40S & 57 48W) Beaufort 5-6, seas 4, air temp 50F

Wonder how long it will take us to get back to more normal sleeping patterns when

we get home? Right now we are waking up every morning about 5 AM and I don’t

know that I want to continue that habit--6 AM might be all right but surely not any

earlier. This morning there really was no reason to get up so early because we were

not getting off the ship until 8:30 or so. Oh well, it does give us plenty of time for

reading.

We got onto the Zodiacs via the Marina Deck this morning and rode to the Port

Williams floating dock with Marco. The wind was quite strong and it was

correspondingly very choppy on the water so we got sprayed pretty often. It was

difficult for Marco to make much headway since we were fighting both the breezes

and the waves. But at last, we did get there. Then we were to board the Land Rovers,

6 to a truck. However, we ended up with more than that number in each truck.
