Circumnavigation

Yesterday we were lucky enough to have suitable weather for an island circumnavigation. Ordinarily the winds and seas are way too high for our little IRBs. Being able to see the west coast was a little bit special as most of it is closed for most of the year - unless someone has the necessary permits to enter these areas for work purposes. I was in the fun boat with Admiral Tim, Lieutenant Claudia and Cabin Boy Trev.

Here's a few photos of the trip, all photos courtesy of Claudia.

Fancy a walk?

We're too sexy for these suits

Wheeee!

The crew rounding Handspike, heading north towards station

The little boat floated across the sea, exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't
