I am writing these
lines in flight from Sea Lion Island back to Stanley – time in Paradise has
flown by! We managed to do some very good collections by snorkelling at the
Gulch yesterday (a site that is used for unloading cargo for the island) and
off the NW tip today. This extended weekend on Sea Lion Island was the overture
for our 2-month campaign exploring the Falklands Seaweed Flora. We all know
that pretty hard work will follow now; staying in a nice lodge on an island
full of penguins, seals and other amazing wildlife is not exactly
representative of what such expeditions are like.
