"Drake" Revisited

26th January 2016
Yesterday evening as we left the South Shetland Islands we started are two day voyage back to Ushuaia via the Drake Passage. Should The Drake be kind to use again? If anything it was even kinder, don't get me wrong we were still rolling but may be not so much and the roll rate (speed of the role) was not so fast.
There were a number of lectures today. Kta gave  lecture on Cetaceans, whales and dolphins. In the lecture she mentioned the College of the Atlantic (COA) and how they identify Humpback whales from the markings and the trailing edge shape of the flook. The photo I took in Flanders Bay, although small, show the underside quite well. I have the email address and will send them the photo along with the date and location when I get home.
For the second lecture of the day Julieta gave a lecture on "Seabirds threats - Improving Conservation".
The last lecture I attended today was another one by Kta about were she works researching whale bones. The name of the place is Estancia Harberton and it's on Tierra del Fuego. They collect samples and the bones from dead sea mammals either washed up on the shore or accidentally caught by fishermen.
There seems to be a cold going around the passengers and I would appear to have caught it.
