Saturday Surprise

 

A Saturday evening surprise for tea time. 18.00 Falklands local time the AIS computer spotted the 350 foot passenger cruiser Prince Albert II. He was South Georgia heading Falklands in reverse of the weather that was carrying us forward. We chatted on the VHF, all is well, best advice was he had seen no ice since the islands, we left him battling wind that was good for us and set bedtime to the warm feeling of an ice free run.

 

Sunday wind was strong, Past north of Shag Rocks a little after midnight, seas for sunrise most confused yet. A bumpy breakfast, sailing just on the cutter with strong winds.

 

6am Falklands local our position is 53.13.50 S   41.25.00 W
