There is nothing more enticing, disenchanting, and enslaving than the life at sea.

[status] Still anchored at Settlement Harbour, Westpoint Island
Flat calm last night - great sleep!
Spent today exploring the Westpoint Island, the higher parts in thick mist. It is lovely to be able to walk freely on the close cropped grass and rocks, a complete contrast to the lush thick forests of Patagonia and Isla de los Estados. We have learnt that in ancient geological times the Falklands were linked to the African continent rather than South America, hence the very different terrain and flora.

[status] FINALLY, we have our Iridium working! We have been without email, weather, etc since Wed last week, and we are now back in business and connected. Not fun not having weather during cyclone season...even though we are reasonably north.
