Gourdin Bay

Weather: Fine overcast but chill

We had another unusual expedition onto Gourdin Bay where Weddell and Crab seals lolled on rocks and three kinds of penguins, gentoo, adele and chinstrap muddled about...

We did another zodiac cruise to try and spot a leopard seal, but had to return to the ship because of heavy seas.

At the moment we've been told that the seas are too rough for another landing and so we move onto Deception Island as we near the end of our trip. We have been told that no ships are going to South Georgia because of bad weather - so we really have been fortunate.
