Petrel was the last of the whalers afloat in South Georgia, but sadly it is no longer the case and she no longer floats.
Moored on the starboard side is Tim and Pauline Carr's yacht, Curlew. Grytviken, Islands of South Georgia.

Tim and Pauline Carr in the shop part of the Grytviken Whaling Museum they were instrumental in setting up. They played a major part in the conservation of buildings and artefacts.
Tim and Pauline have sailed the world in their yacht "Curlew", both are skilled photographers, and they are co-authors of the book "Antarctic Oasis".

Thanks Ravinder. Knowing the high standards you set yourself, it is appreciated.
Entering the Miraflores Locks. One of the "mules" can be seen in front of the white control station. The grey monster to the rear of the right hand side, is the Mexican Drilling Barge "Reforma". We towed it from the top of the Baja California via the Panama Canal to Houston, Texas, for dry docking. Panama Canal. 1982.

Bull Elephant Seals are normally very tolerant of humans.
The "Beach Master" here woke from his afternoon nap as I sat down in the colony, gave me the once-over, and decided that I was no threat. He gave me a couple of half hearted growls, just to let me know that it was his beach. The growls must have tired him out, as he promptly fell back asleep again. Large bulls have been known to weigh in at five to six tons, and it's best to stay upwind of them as the stench of their foetid breath can knock you over. The word halitosis takes on a completely new meaning! King Edward Point, Islands of South Georgia.
