A glorious day in South Georgia! We moor up overnight just off Grytviken, in the bay, so have a beautifully calm night and a good sleep. Up for a run at 6.30, breakfast and then off on the first boat at 9am. Meet Sarah Lurcock, the Postmistress here, good to make contact with her and again pick up some tips, though she is pretty busy with our shipload of tourists. Visit Shackleton’s grave, and the museum which has many old whaling artefacts, and some wonderful photographs of Shackleton’s expeditions. We really couldn’t have asked for a better day, it’s so beautiful and I talk to the museum curator about staffing for the next season! It’s just a thought – might as well keep my options open! In the evening we have a silent movie of Frank Hurley’s cine film of the Imperial Transantarctic Expedtion. It’s astonishing footage, all the more so because of what it survived. The black and white photo above shows the 22 men left on Elephant Island waving off the James Caird as Shackleton leaves to try and reach South Georgia after the loss of the Endurance.
