Fair to say this little G9II is performing even better than I expected. Have finally learned to just trust the AF system and it's doing really really nicely.

I'm sailing South to Macquarie Island with Heritage Expeditions and enjoying a little pampering in between the wildlife and wild waves.

We had some lovely sunshine the first night sailing out of Bluff. Weather has been very "oceanic" since then however :)

Our vessel is the Heritage Adventurer, a Finnish built expedition ship with a heavy emphasis on comfort. Pretty good for spotting albatross too!

Back in the land of the internet today. Feels kinda weird.

We got lucky down in the Auckland Islands on the second visit. Some amazing calm water and clear skies.

Fifteen years ago I got a chance to sail down to Macquarie Island, the last stop before you reach the Antarctic Confluence and the ice of East Antarctica.

Last week I got a chance to go back, and the Royal Penguins did not dissapoint. They are amazing little critters, full of personality and curiosity.

Watching the penguin pairs coming ashore is really something else. Moments of tenderness that are so expressive.
