Back in F.I.

It was a good trip back from Halley. We encountered a bit more ice than anticipated but nothing more than causing a bit of banging and crashing.
  The weather got a bit lumpy across Drake's Passage (F8 on the beam), a bit uncomfortable and passengers on board remained in their bunks for a few days.

The ship arrived in Stanley and we were at anchor until a cruise ship took on some fuel then we went alongside and discharged cargo and passengers. Yesturday we set off for Mare Harbour, East Cove of the Falklands, to take bunkers. Once the bunkering is done this evening we will be leaving and heading to Bird Island full steam.
