Winds are now blowing at 48 knots and we just came back from a Zodiac ride and walk on the islands; they are very desolate and wind blown, not a single tree anywhere. The Zodiac ride was a little wet and bumpy and they say this is nothing compared to what we will experience in South Georgia. The weather is still supposed to make up later this afternoon with sustained winds of 70 - 75 knots. The captain just came by and said that it is very fast moving so should only effect us for a few hours.
Tomorrow we actually go into the pier at Port Stanley and participate in some land tours; Michael and I are going on a tour of the Falklands war battle sites - should be fun. Other than that it has been quiet and relaxing, (had a nice back massage yesterday), we had the Captains cocktail party and dinner last night which was great. Then of course it was acouple of wines with Donna and Diana in the Shackleton lounge..............................
