An Elephant seal sat on my kayak

A restless night on anchor for us, but a much more troubled night for the kayak team! An elephant seal running away from a fight crashed over the top of Sigrid's kayak and caused it some considerable damage, splitting it open in several places. At least the seal didn't crash over tent!
We, on Pelagic, learnt the news at our morning weather sked on the vhf radio. The guys had the kayak in the tent and were getting started on repairs (they carry quite a supply of spare materials including fibreglass resin and tape) so we landed Matias ashore so that he could film the action. While the kayak repairs were taking place we knocked a few little maintenance jobs off the todo list.
The kayak repairs were finished and the resin set at about midday and the team got right into paddling. South Georgia turned up another great day and the paddlers were able to make Diaz Cove by evening. Diaz Cove is a very beautiful anchorage but is not very sheltered from Westerly winds which is what we have forecast for tonight; so Pelagic continued on down the coast to Trollhul. So far we have seen no Trolls here so 'Trollhul' would seem to be a misnomer;) From our anchorage here we can see Cape Disappointment; which marks the turning at the southern extremity of South Georgia.
