Beach clean up and Paddy’s day

March 17, 2011   

Lots of little jobs today!

We took 4 people over to the Greene to look for dead rats – they came back with 8 having eaten the poison. As it was so calm in the Morraine Fjord Matt and I were able to get off the RIBs leaving Rob and Sue to hold them on the beach and we collected a lot of wreckage off the fishing vessels which continue to break up. As you can see in the above picture – lots of rope, nets, plastic parts and pieces. Also an old shoe!

Then I cleaned up the chippy shop so all the sawdust and some pieces of wood from the wrecked needed to be burnt so I had a little fire! Which was nice as it was a cold day…

At lunch there was a lack of cheese in the cheese box in the fridge so it was time to cut some off a very large wheel given to us by a cruise ship. It requires a meat saw as the wheel is frozen…

Despite no one on base being Irish the guys decided to celebrate! So Tommy used some stock marker normally reserved for the fur seals…

And Matt Holmes used some Guiness to make a chocolate cake…
