The plan had been to anchor up in Perseverence Harbour for 2 nights but having dragged 2 anchors the captain made the decision to retreat into the lee of the island and we spent the night moving up and down the east coast. The resulting\u00a0GPS tracklog\u00a0was reminiscent of a hank of wool with loop\u00a0upon\u00a0loop of red strands by morning. The forecast was for improving conditions so we spent most of the morning on deck enjoying the photo opportunities on the Campbell Island pelagic birds. While not quite the original plan, a\u00a0plan B that involves photographing a passing parade of Southern Royal, Campbell Island and \u00a0Light-mantled Albatross, interspersed with the usual Cape and Giant Petrels against the dramatic landscape of Campbell Island isn&#8217;t half bad.. Once the wind began to settle we headed back to Perserverence Harbour to continue our exploration of the island.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6309\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6309\"
