Today we are at sea. We’re fortunate the ship isn’t rocking as much as we expected. We have 4 meter or so swells and since they are following us the ship feels more stable than it did with the 2 meter swells we had on the way to Macquarie Island.
So far we have seen 7 species of penguins on this trip- we don’t expect to see another species but you never know. We’ve seen:
- Little Blue Penguin (Dunedin and on way to Heritage Adventurer ship)
- Yellow Eyed Penguin (Dunedin in recovery center, Auckland Island)
- Eastern Rockhopper Penguin (Auckland Island, Macquarie Island)
- Snares Crested Penguin (Snares Island)
- Gentoo Penguin (Macquarie Island)
- King Penguin (Macquarie Island)
- Royal Penguin (Macquarie Island)
Jennifer and I were excited to see that we would have an afternoon tea today. We really enjoyed them on our other cruises.
