As sunday morning dawned I looked out of my pitroom window to see the sun glinting off the snowy peaks and a full covering of snow on the beach. The last fishing boat of the season was motoring into the cove to be inspected and for Andy Black to go aboard as observer. Andy will be on for 3 to 4 months while they fish for toothfish and then head back to Stanley.

After dropping off the Government Officers aboard for inspection Tommy and I put the RIB in the water ready to pick up Matt and Sue at Sorling as they wanted to come home a day early. I then serviced one of the camping stoves that was acting up and milled some timber for my next woodwork project.

It was wood that was found on the beach and floating behind the jet boats.

We picked up the happy campers and headed on home by the time the boats were put away new fuel brought over from the fuel bund it was 1:45pm!

I spent the afternoon doing lots of little projects including making some insulated covers for my Nalgene water bottle to stop my water freezing on my Aconcaqua trip. Unfortunately there was no close celled foam to use for insulation so I had to use some small bits of old thermarest which will paobably not fully do the trick. Also I haven’t been able to find any zipper to use to attach the top so until I do the lid will not be attached!

Being Sunday it was movie night and Tommy was on lates so we watched Ironman 2.
