Comments
Conditions were overcast today with light rain but the albatross put on a great show for the spectators on the bridge. It was an incredible sight to see pairs of them flying effortlessly and gracefully in unison around the ship. Many great photos were taken – some very excited as their photos actually look like albatross rather than dark specs against an ocean back ground. It was exceptionally quiet on board today, the gentle roll of the ship seems to be keeping people laying low, relaxing and enjoying some quiet time before arriving back in Hobart.
