Pitcairn Island - Feb 16, 2014

Full Moon

The mutineers of the HMS BOUNTY settled on Pitcairn and their descendants still live there.  The coast is too dangerous so cruise ships sail around while the inhabitants sail out bringing souvenirs, and passport stamps ($10) to the passengers.

Cape Horn - 01 Feb 2014

The passage was very smooth - not at all what we expected.

Look sideways - it's an albatross.  We saw many of the real ones and they are huge!
