Hello all,

The Day of Deception Island and Neptune Bellows. A perfect few titles to look up and read more about. How ships found their end, The Whalers station. The 'hot' springs. The small airstrip that used to be there and I guess much more.
At 0730 We entered the center of the Volcanic Island in a thick fog.
I could hardly see my coffee cup in my hand.
A radar is a very useful instrument at such times.
First a long landing at Whalers Bay in the morning and a walk at Telefon
Bay in the afternoon.
I have been here with 0 knots but also with 60+ knots. You never know.
This time we were lucky with a light breeze.
So lucky that we were able to set sails in the heart of the Island and
sailed out through Neptune's Bellows.
A Northerly wind gave us the breeze to sail most of the night till we
got close to Trinity Island.
Now the wind died and my bed is calling
I just handed over our watch to Hans, Clara Lex and Nadia.
Goodnight
Fair Winds, fair thoughts, fair sailing.
