 February 11, 2024 - Red Footed Boobys Mid Pacific Ocean

No comments, just photos. maybe. Have to say that I am blown away by the new camera. Can't believe I was able to take some halfway decent images of birds flying on the second day I am using it.

Punta Arenas to Santiago - Nov. 29, 2019

Image
With our luggage taken away last night we didn't have much to pack this morning, just a few items to go into our day packs. The view from outside on our balcony showed we were docked at the pier in Punta Arenas beside another Antarctic expedition ship, The Megellan Explorer. Baggage being loaded for transport to the airport where it will be checked for us, meaning we will just have to pick it up at baggage claim when we arrived at the airport in Santiago. Breakfast was served early, though it didn't matter for us as we were in the last group to depart the ship which would be at 10 o'clock. Linda knew how to pass the time as she waited from 8 o'clock when we had to vacate our room until we left the ship two hours later. I took advantage of the time to write another blog post, having uploaded the photos during the night. Posting the photos at night had worked great, except for when we were in extremely rough seas when they simply didn't go up, like

Last day at Sea - Nov. 27, 2019

Image
Our trip is in its last stages. Today we will continue traveling from the Falklands to the Straits of Magellan. While there was some rocking during the night my traveling companion continues to wake up with a smile on her face after a restful night's sleep. Happy Linda makes for happy Bob. While I am no wildlife photographer our balcony makes it easy to photograph any creatures that may happen by weather in the sea or the air. The wrist strap on my camera comes in handy as I can operate the camera with one hand and have the binoculars in the other. Meanwhile, inside, Linda is slowly working at packing. And yes, it all fits with room to spare. As usual we way over packed in some areas, especially as far as cold-weather gear was concerned. We know that layers is the secret, the problem is that we go for far more layers than we need when we pack. Plus we brought our snow/rain boots which we didn't need as the ship supplied for the trip. As we traveled along we

Wind and Waves at Sea - January 18, 2024 - World Voyage Day 16 - 8051 Steps

Image
  As the Captain put it during his daily noon update today: It's an ocean in motion day. The wind means waves, but we knew that in the night as were occasionally not so gently rocked awaked. Mornings light brought it to sight. Something different again to start the day. I know I have never had this combination for breakfast. Yogurt, granola and blueberries - yes, but with oat milk added - never. The raw materials for today's Oi Brazil craft project.  This sample was provided to give all the craftwomen and the craftman a starting idea as to what to make. Linda's handiwork compliments her perfectly. The ocean can be many things. At this moment to me it was such a lovely thing. Holland America's distinctive stacks. The six starboard side Starlink antennas atop their mounting poles. There are six more over on the port side.  Closeup Artwork is everywhere. One of these days I plan to do a post showing the six paintings in the corridor between our room and the closet elevator
