FW: Flying Zodiac

From my friend Marc, who was on a photography vacation on South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands in the southern Atlantic Ocean:
 
=====
 
  We arrived at Royal Bay on South Georgia and had the option to land at 6:30am or 8:30.
 
 Elise and I planned on the 8:30, but as we gathered at the gangway at 8 we were told that sea conditions had changed and the planned landing site was no longer safe.
 
 After scouting another landing site for half an hour, the landing was cancelled and the crew turned their attention to safely returning the 30-40 or so passengers who made the 6:30am landing to the ship.
 
After several zodiacs made it through the shore break with minimal trouble and only catching a little air, the last zodiac with four staff members came out as Ted shot video from one of the safety boats waiting offshore.
