Winds and the swell on our first expedition day helped us realize what it might have been like for sailors facing the Drake Passage in previous centuries. Sailing comfortably aboard National Geographic Explorer, guests were delighted by the first lectures that helped them start identifying the seabirds around us. Precisely, the good thing about the Drake Passage is the joy of the birders as the black-browed albatrosses glided and danced around us!
