Summer

And his summer is in full swing. The first vessel (the James Clark Ross) since April has just docked, so there will be rejoicing in the mess tonight as the fresh meat and veg hit the tables. Teeshirt weather by the looks of it

Word back from Antarctica is that it is 3m. There's a 5sec frame interval in the video which enhances the look of the current a bit.
