Even with strong winds we managed to get the tent down.

Four of us managed to take a couple of hours and take a walk to the base of the mountain.


We are waiting on the fog to clear so we can return the last 3-4 loads to the ship.


Erling keeping a record of the ship moverments.  Because of the bad weather we had to move the ship to other locations.


Erling giving us the history of Peter I and showing a photo of a person for whom a part of the island was named.


We have a nice place on the DAP Mares for a hamshack; it also serves as place where we can set up our computers.


We all had items that needed to be signed and kept for the future.
