We were all put to work in the hold.

Just a little more to do tomorrow at Signy as the ice in the night slowed us down so we didn’t get here until 11am. Most of the cargo is aboard and the station compliment of 5 are staying ashore tonight and will come aboard with their personal stuff tomorrow.

It was a gray wind wet day today but fun to get ashore and look around the station. It is pretty small and it is a summer only base. They do a lot of penguin science and some moss/lichen. We got to see something pretty similar to grass.

The station is surrounded by elephant seals and they pretty much stink the place out. There are about 20,000 fur seals on the island as well all running around the place – a lot were juveniles.

The landing craft full on its way back to the Shack.
So back aboard now after moving lots of cargo and time to eat dinner and maybe watch a movie.

Tomorrow we will move on towards King Edward Point which is the BAS station at South Georgia where relief is set to take two days.
