Back to where we started from!
During our survey of the sea floor around South Georgia, one of the crew members got ill, abdominal pain I heard, maybe appendicitis, so we headed back to Stanley to transfer him ashore. We encountered strong winds and heavy seas on the way, with a nasty swell coming from sideways which awoke me at 5 am. I couldn't close my eyes again for the rest of the night as I was sliding up and down my bunk! Good thing I don't get sea sick, though: I was still able to work on my papers for the rest of the day. Arriving in Stanley was a relief, and we spent the night in the bay, waiting for a space along the dock to refuel, which we obtained this morning. We could get ashore for two hours, and I took the opportunity to walk and stretch my legs!
Below are a few pictures about life onboard, taken by Mike Gloistein.

ReplyDeleteStill a little long, you'll see with time you 're going to try shorter and shorter!

6mm is NOT that long! Let's say it is the "winter" length ;0 ... you're not going to Antarctica! Cedric is!
ReplyDeleteI get it, shorter the penguins would have confuse his white untanned head for an egg!
ReplyDeleteMatthieu, you missed my period of short hairs --High School, end of 80's. My sister would call me the skin-head. Now, the hair-do looks good on you Cedric. Like a Buddhist monk.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, because Pierrot, whom I saw briefly at the British Antarctic Survey just before taking my flight to Stanley, said when he saw me arrive in his office: "Who's this hooligan?"...
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm happy to look like a Buddhist monk!
