Day 7, Mon 10 Nov:  Failed morning zodiac cruise of Elsehul cove, but successful zodiac cruise through Right Whale Bay.  Saw the amazing black and white Comerson's Dolphins, who raced our zodiacs. Every animal/bird down here seems to be black and white.

Failed afternoon landing, but zodiac cruise along Salisbury Plain.  The 2nd largest King penguin colony on Sth Georgia, approx 60000 breeding pairs.  I have died and entered my Agnostic Heaven, where I am surrounded as far as the eye can see by penguin parents and creches of 'Woolies', the King chicks who shroud themselves in brown cowls and bear a striking resemblance to Uncle Fester from the Addams Family.  Hadn't expected Heaven to smell quite so bad.
