This was a sailing day on our way to South Georgia Island. Not a day of rest however. There was a mandatory South Georgia briefing. Some very strict rules apply to landing in South Georgia. There was another biosecurity inspection of our outerwear (boots, gloves, bags, jackets etc) if we had worn these items in the Falkland Islands. Velcro is a particular enemy of biosecurity as it can catch seeds, spores, dirt, small particles. This check is undertaken on the lower deck of the ship. The very vigilant staff use a miners light to examine your stuff, and have a range of picks, brushes and cleaners to scour your clothing etc.
