Relief

November 1, 2010   

Yet another beautiful blue sky day today and it was a busy day on station. The James Clark Ross arrived this morning so we unloaded all the food and supplies for the next year. We loaded on all our garbage neatly divided into cardboard, plastic, tins, glass and landfill and also the outgoing winters personal posessions. I still got my 10km morning bike ride in around to Grytviken passed a french yacht which pulled in yesterday and left today. After a very brief visit the JCR took off for the Falklands to start a science cruise which will see them finishing up doing relief at Rothera in a few weeks time. So the food stores are now full to bursting and we the new winters have all our kitbags of gear and personal items – lets see if we can fit them in our rooms!
