Day 3 - Today I woke up with my brand new sea legs.

By Blog.Admin

Today I woke up with my brand new sea legs.  Even though the seas weren't much calmer, I was feeling much better.  I was feeling even better when I saw a Wandering Albatross circling the ship.  It was huge and later in the lecture I found out that that it had a wingspan of close to 3 meters.  We also saw a some penguins jumping through the water.  There were also a lot of other birds and as the day went on we saw more and more.  That meant that we were close to land!  In the evening we saw it, slowly coming out of the fog.  There it was, a rocky pyramid island called "the Pyramid".  Other islands became visible too...all rocky and some with sharp points on them.

As we passed through the islands the ocean calmed and someone saw a whale.

I was too late to see it but I did see a seal give me a wave.  We went to sleep on calm water for the first time in a while but I could barely sleep because in the morning we were going to make our first landing!!!!!
