On Friday seven of us on base celebrated our 365th day after leaving the UK to come to South Georgia. Time has flown by. It was a stunning day so Rob let us do scrub out at 2pm and finish work at 3:30. <\/p>\n

\nI headed for the hills and had a great walk up around the small lake above Gull Lake. It was so warm I was completely comfortable in shorts and a hoodie. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n Pat and Sarah had taken the day off and had headed for Glacier Col with their skis which was very funny to follow. There were a few times where they skied across grass as the snow is very very patchy after the rain on thursday. <\/p>\n

First thing in the morning we did an oil spill exercise in readiness for relief next week as they will be transferring fuel from the JCR into our fuel bunds.

\nIt was a very quick exercise as the fastank was very fast to set up! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPancake has weaned and was interested in helping out with the hoses that attach to the floating skimmer. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThe boom was deployed around the jet boat and afterwards was laid out to dry in the sun. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nPancake was so tired after the exercise he had a long afternoon nap.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nI reinstalled the Webasto in Pipit and it works fine after the cleaning of the burn plate of carbon deposits. This one is from Prion which I pulled out and left the heat exchanger and burn plate soaking over the weekend in diesel to get rid of a very large amount of carbon deposits. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
