On February 6, we were supposed to spend the day
in the Bay of Isles. However, the wind was howling at 115 mph so
we couldn't make a landing. We cruised around the islands for awhile,
hoping the wind would die but it didn't. So we headed off to our
next destination - the Falkland Islands. Hundreds of sea birds followed
us. In the early evening we passed very close to the most photogenic
iceberg encountered during the entire voyage. The next morning we
passed by the dramatic and isolated Shag Rocks with a huge number
of shags perched on their sharp-pointed pinnacles that rise over
300 ft above the surface.
