Bad weather day on Gough Island


It is a long time since my last blog. We are in the final months of our Over Wintering on the Island. We are in the winter season know. The weather is not so good over this past days. Rain and Rain and more rain sprinkle with some FOG and Ruff Sea Conditions. But this is the beauty of the Mountain in the Sea as Gough has been known.
