It was supposed to be a photo expedition, but turned out to be a general one, but of extremely good quality- the only real let down was the photographic inputs. The Photo Pro's first instructions to all of us was - "Now I want all of you to switch from A mode to P mode"! (-: After that I just ignored him and went about my business! The other scientific, biological, historical, conservation and ecological inputs were all from world authorities on their respective subjects, who had been hired for the cruise.
