It's amazing what you can see on patrol. Today we had a pod of about 10 Orca following us and playing alongside us for about 20 minutes.

Today we have some lovely South Atlantic weather heading in, currently all our fishing vessels are moving to take cover just north of the Islands and in to the Falkland Sound. Wind speeds so far in excess of 80 knots and the worst is still to come.

Something different today, Lilibet is monitoring a fishing vessel under tow as she proceeds to the safety of the Falkland Islands.

Monitoring Ship to Ship refueling is an important task for us to ensure the ongoing survival or our most precious assets, our wildlife.

As we leave for another patrol we pass the FV Argos Berbes, and the Launch Fitzroy as we pass through the Narrows. 🦑

Squid being frozen ready to be sent to Europe. Did you know If you eat calamari in southern Europe there is over a 50% chance it's a Falklands squid! 🦑🦑

It always amazes me how dark it is out in the South Atlantic.

An evening departure from anchor for FPV Lilibet on our next patrol of the Falklands EEZ. Currently over 135 vessels fishing in our zone, so going to be a busy time.

After a few really nice sunny days stuck in the office, today it's inspection time, and yes it rained, and rained. But good inspection done.

Well that's the end of the patrol now, back to the office for a while. No rest for the crew though, that's them heading back out on patrol.

A different day, a different type of vessel inspection. Today we were over 100nm south of the last few days inspecting Loligo Trawlers.

We spend long times in our RHIB at sea moving between vessels. It allows us to come so close to so many types of birds including Albatross. And they are so big!!
