Cheers Jutten Island. Bring on Malgas - 04:28 am
29 Jan 2010
We’re heading back for civilization and a shower! We’re not particularly clean at all. Not remotely. The thought of clean clothes and bodies and perhaps a fine meal is rather a good one.
We made it onto the boat without any mishaps. The wind has died almost completely and it’s smooth sailing for once.
Of course, we don’t travel light. Cameras demand vast amounts of gear so we had to haul everything out to the jetty and get it down the rickety stairs.
So our time on Jutten is up for now. I wish the cormorants good luck with round two of nesting. Hopefully they’ll do well. The fact that we didn’t see a single pelican this week is a good sign for them.
But on Sunday we land on Malgas Island – home of the Cape gannet. We hear that the seals have been particularly destructive this year. Bad news for them. It should be an interesting – if tough and dirty, week.
