He had taken the Zodiac out around the islands, and lost radio contact with the Grigory Mikheev on the other side. So he decided to go around the islands to meet it, but in the meantime, the Grigory Mikheev had also decided to go looking for him, and was going round the islands in the same direction!
Fortunately a message had been put out to a passing ship, which relayed the
location on, and they eventually met up. I can't think why Martin got told off
though!!
Whilst we cruised around, a number of Fur seals were spotted, (these can be
identified by their little ears).
