At 6am our voyage officially began. Though the whole morning we were sailing through the sheltered Strait of Magellan, the ship began to gently move with the waves. Guests learned about the ship and exploring life on board as we sailed. We also learned about the Science and Education program, including multiple Citizen Science programs run on board. At exactly 17:00, the Captain’s Welcome took place, at which our Captain, officers, and the Expedition Team introduced themselves. By late afternoon / evening, land disappeared, and we were on the open sea heading towards the Falklands Islands.
