Albatross

had our first day in 'Drake passage' . It was rather overcast all day but with only small waves , thank goodness!  We had a number of talks to get us prepared for the days ahead in Antarctica and I spent most of the rest of the time out on deck photographing the birds. We saw various types of albatross inclduing this one, a light-mantled albatross. Also managed to see but not photograph a dolphin . 
I'm backblipping as only just managed to get sufficient WIFI so have added the last couple of days as well.
