Fuck a Doodle Doo
We're back in the hotel...on standby...till this afternoon.
At least we got as far as the departure lounge and it is snowing now in Punta so it has a sort of Antartctic feel.

We're off!
Lightening out of a clear blue sky! looked like there was no flight window until Sunday at the earliest then at breakfast...Bam! pickup un half an hour. Barring a last minute turnaround my next post will be from Union Glacier.

Standing by.
Things are looking better today, the weather is likely to clear this afternoon so we're on 2 hourly rather then daily updates, this afternoon is looking likely for flying.
Punta's a decent place but I'll be glad to see the back of it and get to the ice.

Weather window?
Early call this morning, 6.30...yawn. There's a chance of a tiny weather window between yesterdays 60 knot gale and the next few days cloud and heavy snow, the runway's clear, fingers crossed.

Storm forecast for UG
Another lovely day in Punta but it's not getting any better at Union Glacer, Storm force winds and drifting snow forecast for tommorrow morning, nothing to do here as the new staff are training at the office. Should be a Halloween party at the Condor this evening though and had a pleasent morning out with Dean, Steve, Malin, Yolenta, Inga and Alice having hot chocolate and cake in the cafe at Dreams.
Life is tough in Punta.
