... and wondering how it would survive the next few weeks. We then moved onto Hermanus hopeful to spot some late season straggling whales.

Finally arrived at the dock and I made the slow walk up to the office in the pouring rain, telling my body that it was on land, while my head was telling it we were still at sea. The land crew greets you with homemade soup that I was not able to get down, as you watch the video from your day.
