Merry Christmas from South Georgia!

Christmas is here, in case you had forgotten (like me) and this will be a quick post to tell everyone back home that I miss you all, and all of us here wish you all in snowy (slushy?) UK a very happy Christmas.  To all my friends at Her Majesties Coastguard, I am with you comrades... they dont know how big a mistake they are making.

Meet the crowd:
From left to right:
Bottom row: Alastair Wilson (Predator Scientist), Kieron Fraser (Government Officer), Matt Holmes (Facilities Engineer), Tommy Whitfield (Electro - Technical engineer), Dr Samantha Crimmin (guess),

Top row:  Rob Webster (Base Commander), Matt Kenney (Sea Gypsy), Ashley Perrin (Senior Boating Officer), John Ashburner (Predator Scientist), Katie Brigden (Fisheries Biologist), Ruth Fraser (SGHT), Pat Lurcock (Government Officer), Sarah Lurcock (general good egg and Post Master)

Happy Xmas and a cracking New year to all!!  Thanks for your continued interest and support.

Matt.
