• Day 4 At Sea ⛵ to South Georgia

    5. Februar 2025, South Atlantic Ocean ⋅ 🌬 10 °C

    We are currently racing across the South Atlantic Ocean in a 67 hour (800 mile) dash trying to escape the worst of the coming storm. It will catch us but not today. Hopefully during the worst of it we will have reached the shelter of a fjord in South Georgia. Opening the blind this morning revealed another lovely day. I certainly needed the sun block as the sun can easily burn.
    We had the excitement of 3 separate mandatory biosecurity training sessions to attend today before we go to South Georgia - a rules and regulations session, a boot cleaning session and a vacuuming your kit session. chummed up with a lady called Jan, so we will look out for each other if either of us is unwell. We also had talks about whale conservation, geology and birds of the Falklands and a photography workshop. As one Swiss guy commented, I have more appointments here than at work!
