There were three options for excursions this morning. Lon and I chose to go for on the nature walk along Cape Pembroke, just east of Stanley.

 |
| The beach along the cape is sandy in spots, and rocky in spots. |
 |
| There were a number of Peale's Dolphins swimming in the shallow waters. |
 |
| Mostly what we saw were birds. These are steamer ducks. |
 |
| Upland geese are beautiful and plentiful. |
 |
| The "roots" of kelp came up several feet above the water. They looked more like tentacles of some sea creature rather than a plant. Lichens were also plentiful on the rocks. |
 |
| A rocky beach with plenty of tidal pools. |
 |
| On our way out of Stanley, we passed the massive cruise ship, the Norwegian Star. This ship is too large to dock in Stanley, so passengers who wanted to come ashore had to take a 15 to 20 minute ride on a tender to get to town. |

| The tender port on the starboard side of the Norwegian Star. There was a similar port on the port side. |
