It gave me time to observe the penguin beach parties that were going on. On two different beaches (and I believe two different specifies of penguins), the penguins were having a nice afternoon in the sunshine.
The sunshine was abundant was the ship pulled up anchor today. |
As the ship sailed by the beaches, the penguins seemed to be having a beach party. |
Stanley has a beautiful lighthouse at the entry to the harbor. |
The ship passes by the airport which sits above the beach and sand dunes. |
Another photo of the lighthouse as the ship proceeds to the Atlantic Ocean. |
I believe that two different species of penguins were on the two beaches we passed during the sail away. |
Penguins can be pretty tall and heavy. |
I've seen Chinstrap, Gentoo, and Magellanic penguins. I hate I didn't get to see the Rockhoppers. |
Leaving Stanley for a 2-day sail to Montevideo, Uruguay. The weather will get much warmer as the ship moves north. |
The planned route for the next half of the trip around South America. |
