We listened to several presentations, including one from our special guest speaker, Valerie Taylor. A pioneer in marine conservation, she talked about her first travels to the Asmat in the 1970’s, where we will be in two days. The amazing hotel staff made sure we were never hungry, and since it was a beautiful day, hosted lunch outside. Sailing west into the sunset, we ended this great day voyaging through this immense ocean, just as so many others have done before us. Daily Expedition Reports 5/12/2024 Read National Geographic Resolution Reine, Norway As National Geographic Resolution came to Reine, excitement buzzed among the guests who were eager to explore the picturesque fishing village. With its colorful red wooden houses nestled amidst towering mountains, Reine seemed like a painting come to life. The island’s modest population of 314 added to its charm, offering a glimpse into the intimate rhythms of coastal life. Stepping onto the cobbled streets, we wandered freely, soaking in the serene ambiance. A visit to the cultural center provided insights into the village’s rich heritage and deep-rooted connection to the sea. Following a delightful lunch, we faced a delightful dilemma: long hikes, medium hikes, or Zodiac rides? Each option promised adventure, whether scaling rugged peaks or venturing deeper into the fjords. With hearts full of anticipation, we set off, ready to immerse ourselves in the untamed beauty of Norway’s Lofoten Archipelago.

With light winds and following seas, it was a gorgeous day to be out on deck. Quite a few birds were spotted including many red-footed boobies. They were attracted to the ship, attempting to catch the abundant flying fish. In the afternoon, many of us congregated on the bow, enjoying the weather and wildlife. Attentive observers were rewarded with one of the greatest pelagic sightings-flying squid! At least 3 large groups of these poorly known critters were spotted, much to the delight of many, none more than me. Photo caption and credit : Tahiti petrel.

First settled by Phoenician traders, it is one of the oldest continuously habited cities in Europe and was the base of our activities for the day. Those bound for the Caminito del Rey walkway soon found themselves on the mountain paths and suspended walkways in the dramatic El Chorro Canyon. Stretching for five miles, the pathway was constructed in the 1900s to provide access to a newly built dam, but by the 21st century had fallen into disrepair. After an extensive renovation, it was reopened as a heritage trail in 2015. Other guests headed for Rhonda, an even older town than Malaga. Perched on a high plateau, the old town is accessed by a stunning bridge that leads to one of Spain’s oldest...
