We just arrived here this morning. Even after travelling three hundred miles per day, when there was no sign of shore last two days, we started to doubt whether there is any island at all in this part of the Atlantic Ocean or not. When Saunders was looking through the binoculars earlier this morning, he said he can see a shore through the fog, Callenbach got ready with his movie-camera right away. It was a bit astounding for me, because usually gaggles of seagulls fly in and announce in their hoarse voice that a seashore is approaching, long before the shore actually comes to sight. This time we noticed the exception. After our arrival on the island, we realized that, there is nothing astounding about this, because even after hiking around nearly five Kilometres all day long, we failed to see any animal other than a couple of insects and some crabs on the strand. Furthermore, we didn’t notice any unusual or atypical plant species either. We didn’t see anything other than the vegetation, plant-life and fruits that are typically expected to grow in these regions. It was however merely some parts of the West side of the island that we explored today.
