The conditions looked fine when we set out from KEP however, when we got to the far reaches of East Cumberland bay the swell and wind meant it wasn&#8217;t safe to do a beach landing. So they got another night of holidays and we returned to base with our tails between our legs! This morning the forecast was for miserable weather well it couldn&#8217;t have been more wrong so we set out at 8:30am and picked them up off the beach. Seeing as it was such a beautiful day we felt it was necessary to have a detour along the face of the Nordenskul glacier. The small amount of brash ice was good for training Alastair and Tommy about driving through it. <\/p>\n<p>We returned to base and set about doing some maintenance on the RIB trailers and before long it was time for doc school (about fluids) followed by christmas drinks at Pat and Sarahs (south georgia gin and tonics), dinner (chinese) and more christmas decorations which went up in the bar. There are so many trees in the cupboard here that we decided to have a &#8216;forest&#8217; instead of just one tree.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.racingyachtmanagement.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/forest.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.racingyachtmanagement.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/forest.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"forest\" width=\"448\" height=\"300\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2552 colorbox-2550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.racingyachtmanagement.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/forest.jpg 448w, https:\/\/www.racingyachtmanagement.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/forest-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday we weren&#8217;t able to pick up Pat and Sarah (government officer and postmistress) from Sorling which is on the Barff Peninsula.
