Golden light at Gold Harbour

Image
Gold Harbour not called so because we were there when the light was indeed golden Day 10 - March 8 2020 Gold Harbour Gentoos molting I forget that they are birds until they lie down like a duck There are bullies in all parts of the world Okay, it's unanimous, a swim this afternoon Elephant seal - either a young one or female, I'm not sure We tried for a second time to get into Gold Harbour and this time we were successful. There was a little bit of drizzle and our group would go on land first and do the zodiac cruising after breakfast. So a 5:30 wake up call let us know that we would be called at 6am and as we were first I got down there a few minutes earlier to get started as I can’t fit my socks on with my slip on shoes. We are getting dressed and undressed 2-3 times a day. Two pairs of socks as the boots you choose must fit two pairs and if you only wear one it’s a little too roomy. Although there was drizzle it was a balmy 8°C, so no jumpe...
