Operation La Boreal.....
Here are some photos from a particularly nice evening trip to Stromness in the extended limit to meet the Tourist ship LA BOREAL. She is a French flagged vessel and it is her first time to South Georgia, therefore the Governement officers need to board her to check all is in order and to observe her crew giving passengers briefs before going ashore. There is, as I have eluded to in earlier posts, lots of information to pass to them to not only protect South Georgia but to protect the tourists from harm as well. Incidentally our Doctor had to carry out an XRay on a woman in her 50s last week because she had broken her arm while fleeing from an aggressive male Fur Seal.

I am enjoying your blog & these pictures give us a flavour of an away day.
ReplyDeleteSome pictures of the boats at sea would be good! Am I right in thinking you have 2 sorts, & if you head out into the extended boating limit do you have to take 2 boats for safety reasons? I assume you do!
Do you use the yellow digger for launching?
Are the charts good or do you have to do any work on that side, & how close are you allowed to go to other beaches away from KEP? Mind, perhaps it is the mammals that influence that!
