Days 75, 76, 77

  suspension bridge

  the jeep 

A couple of quiet days, both at anchor and alongside. We went out of the harbour to test some of the DP sensors. This involved dropping the sensor poles through the bottom of the ship, then taking a beacon in the FRC and stand off the Shack in various locations, to check the equipment on board gets a return.
On Wednesday I got a day off and with the three istar lads we set off in a Land Cruiser around the eastern island.
We went to see some of the sights, the most southern suspension bridge in the world (see above) and a few of the strategic places in the war.  Outside of Stanley there is nothing but farms and wilderness, very few settlements and the roads are gravel tracks.  There still exists quite a lot of minefields but they are clearly marked with fences and signs.
