Supplement
One of 2.5 days of transit from the Falkland Islands to South Georgia Island. Woke to grey skies; no rain, and a wide horizon, but no sunlight, either. Weather gradually deteriorated throughout the day, getting cooler with drizzle. After crossing the Antarctic Convergence, about 4 PM, there was moderate fog as well.

Should arrive at Shag Rocks, off the coast of South Georgia, tomorrow evening.
