Coral Princess 23rd December 2019

Going through all these photos is taking a lot more time than I had thought! Over the trip I took around 27,000 shots. I spent a significant amount of time during the entire trip deleting pictures as I went along (this not fully finished with this process). I usually shoot in RAW format but given the amount of photos I knew I would be taking on this trip I had to switch to JPEG to get by with just a few memory cards.

Anyway going back to the Monday 23rd December 2019 we were still steaming south towards the Falkland Islands. I'll let the photos and log speak for themselves.
A few details from the ship's official log book.
Noon position: 47o 40’ S / 056 o 59’ W.
