A few photos to lead off before I update the blog for our stop in Puerto Madryn. The first is of a seal sleeping right next to the Mariner on one of the posts that has a bumper so the ships are cushioned. There were various levels on the post, and the seals—this was not the only one—each picked the highest.



Right next to the pier as we were walking over to the beach, this penguin was frolicking in the water. Boy can they swim fast, given how slowly they waddle on land. Here, the penguin was showing off his breast stroke for us:



Once in a while, a seagull would dive bomb the penguin. Not sure what that was all about. (Note the penguin underwater in the lower right.)



Our excursion went to an interesting Welsh village, so we didn't see any other wildlife at this port.
