Hello All
It is amazing how lucky we have been at South Georgia over the past 3 years with the weather window opening just to allow us a quick visit.
We were not as fortunate as before with regards to visibility since the low cloud with slight drizzle covered most of the amazing glaciers we have come to know. Still we can not complain since there were hardly any wind and no ships in Kind Edward Cove allowing us free passage. The passenger vessel "The World" was due in during the afternoon and came to the outer anchorage shortly before our departure at around 16:00GMT.
We are on our way north now to a most northerly latitude of 49°S after which we will turn South East to run down the eastern side of the South Sandwich island before starting with Scientific stations every 20 miles from a point close to Thule Island all the way back to Akta Bay.
Enjoy your Saturday.
Attached is a photo of the vessel taken from in front of the Gritvicken museum. The history of this place is amazing and well preserved with the old Whaling Station derelict still telling a true story....an amazing experience.
