Upon leaving South Georgia Island we had 4 days at sea before reaching Tristan da Cunha. The first day was spent in my room, including the bathroom, as I experience my second of being really, really seasick. The second day was recovering from the first day. The 3rd day got me out on the stern taking pictures of albatrosses. They would glide from side to side coming up to the ship from behind, then circle back around and repeat the process. Sometimes they came fairly close, and sometimes stayed away. But all was accomplished without flapping their wings, but just gliding with the wind.
Not sure kind of Albatross this is - it is not a Wandering Albatross - could be a 'Sooty'? The dark feathers extend all the way cross the top of the wings.
