Busy Island life!
This week we have had a large cruise ship in, the JCR came in on relief and we had some building experts come in on another ship. Meanwhile I have started my exercise program of 10km bike rides in the morning, gym at lunch and hiking in the evening. It has been a week today that we arrived on base and everyone is settling in well. On Saturday and Sunday last weekend I went for a hike up Mt Hodges and Mt Duse. This weekend I am planning on going over to Mytviken to see the penguin colonies with a shorter hike on sunday as I am on earliers (more about that at some point).
Saturday meal was amazing cooked by Ali (base commander) and Paula (boating officer) with a starter of poached pears in a phylo basket with blue cheese. Main was toothfish skewers and veg and dessert of white chocolate mousse.
Will try to get some pictures up at some point. Have a great weekend.

South Georgia looks very interesting are these buildings in prior article the
old whaling station buildings and is that bay where they would have wintered.
Will this place ice in?
Also looking for mom’s key ring with the A on it. its the key ring that you took
the Key off when the BMW went in for the oil leak. Which turned out to be
the housing and is now repaired,
Also the smell in the silver racer turned out to be the injectors needing replacement of the gaskets.
Have the new front entrance ready for Glazing and am now working on the
Laundry Room. Painting on the inside,
Love DAD -
Sounds like you are busy on the island as well! I gave that key ring to mum I believe I don’t have it here! The rusty tanks and the white buildings are the whaling station in King Edward Cove and yes about 90 of them use to winter there. Glad you got the car fixed.
