a few random photos from the Falklands

 So here are some pictures I found in Eric Maspers Collection... Here we are in the Victory Pub in Stanley just before Christmas 2010... It proves we don't always work... infact who am I kidding we really don't work at all...
 Me and Simon on deck between Snow Storms in December to help replace the broken Lead-in Cables.
 A bunch of us getting ready to load out the ships provisions because the small crane had broken...
Here is how we dress when we have to do small boat transfers in cold weather... Cold or not your sweating pretty hard once you get all this on.
Just like the olden-days we still walk up the gangway to get on the boat...
 Here is Kevin and Ian at the Chilean Brasserie...
 and Kevin and Ian exercising the Brasserie calories off...
 Jake walking up the gangway after a long cold night in Stanley.
 Here we are at the Brasserie.... It seems we go there alot... it is the only "nice" place for dinner on the island with the exception of the hotel.
 Dorian after a 6 week trip... was glad to be back here... Dorian served here in Stanley during the offensive...
 Here's a bunch of trouble at the Brasserie... god is my hair really that gray..?
 The crew dinner in the Chilean joint... Excellent food all around... and so much Chilean wine.
 Kevin and Ian with the manager of the Brasserie.... I'm fairly certain we spent more in there than she would have made in a month.
Here is the sleet and ice accumulation on the bridge window yesterday morning... Now...

Hows that for a random assortment...

I tried to include some pictures of fun we had... to show its not all boring depressing cold bleak awful disgusting and miserable... hahaha its really not all that bad.  Definitely the top of my location options during the coming zombie apocalypse.

Again thanks for the pictures Eric..!

Y'allhavagud'un!
