Ellen’s first albatross picture - OC/Ellen MacArthur
Wednesday 4 January
Last night I was so tired I was almost unable to function. It had been the most incredible dream-like day. This morning there is as close to silence as you can get here, with a flat calm sea and blue sky. The sun is really hot, with no wind and I found myself wearing shorts and a t-shirt! The pipits were singing, flying high in the sky, their song rarely heard so far and wide in the habitual whistling wind.

This afternoon was quite possibly one of the best experiences of my life. Aware of the fact that there are days like this so rarely down here. The beautiful sunrise feels like it was a week ago let alone just 12 hours ago.

Well Christmas is over, with the most amazing walk on Bird Island had by all. We spent our Christmas day being introduced to a whole range of birds, before sitting down to a great Christmas dinner.
