Stranded . . .
. . . in McMurdo
A nasty storm has descended upon the Ross Ice Shelf, resulting in the cancellation of the C-17 from Christchurch today. Approximately 100 people will be here at least a day longer than expected. This storm is expected to last a few days, which may put my departure date of Thursday, the 21st in jeopardy.
I'm hoping this is not the case, since I have a sailing trip lined up on Friday.
Other than sailing, my plans are vague. I will see 'Ween' in Wellington on the 26th. After that, I may buy a bike and start cycling south towards Dunedin, for a hopeful reunion with my hero, Captain Steve Kafka of the expedition vessel Evohe. Throw some hikes in along the way, and it should be all gravy baby.
