It's a cracking Sunday afternoon, at the start of another patrol for FPV Lilibet.

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.
@gav424 Highest we saw on Lilibet was 101.7 knots which was just before 2300hrs 😀
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.
A few images from the last few days out and around the Falkland Islands on FPV Lilibet.
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.
Another day boarding fishing vessels. Each time we leave and come back onboard we disinfect ourselves to reduce the chance of us transmitting Avian Flu. Biosecurity is an important every day task.

UK specialist paratroopers and military clinicians have carried out a daring parachute operation to deliver critical medical support to Tristan da Cunha – Britain’s most remote inhabited Overseas Territory – after a suspected case of Hantavirus was identified on the island.

Another day carrying out fisheries compliance boardings this time on some of our Trawler fleet.
As we leave for another patrol we pass the FV Argos Berbes, and the Launch Fitzroy as we pass through the Narrows. 🦑

FPV Lilibet is ready to head out for another patrol. See what this patrol brings.
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! 🦑🦑
Not so dark now with all of the Jigger fishing fleet with their lights on.
With the weather playing ball now it was straight back to fisheries compliance boardings today.
The Easter Bunny even managed to find us in the middle of the south Atlantic. He's good 🐇🥚
