DAY 77  Update:  Monday 25th March  2024

Today was one of our toughest days yet!  Did we see sharks - YES!  Did we get to tackle the Foveaux Strait in some of the most crazy unpredictable weather ever?  YES!  Not our usual experience, so thanks to everyone who gave it their best go! 

Weather:    We are seeing some crazy weather patterns this summer, with days filled with rain AND sun AND being cold WITH sunburn!   Its odd, but its just another element that makes for an eventful day at sea.    Due to the frequent changes we are seeing, weather assessments for tours are conducted by our team at 72 hours, 48hours and 12 hours - but anything can change! 

A reminder to all our guests:  Prepare for all seasons.  Prepare for calm or rough seas.  Prepare to see something, somewhere, amazing!
