I waited around a lot last night for the logistics company to do the gear check, but we never did hook up. At about 10:45 I headed back downstairs and helped Brent and a few others finish off the wine they were drinking. Nice to sleep horizontally last night for the first time in about 3 days.
I've been in Chile for about 24 hours and haven't had a beer yet. Go figure.
The first call was supposed to be between 6:30 and 9:30 this morning. At about 9:15 Richard Donovan (the Race Director) came down to let us know that we'll have another update at 12:30. I finally got my gear checked and delivered to ANI for transport to Antarctica, now we're waiting until 12:30 local time for an update. Still optimistic about going today.

Good luck Don! I've enjoyed following the journey and look forward to its completion!
ReplyDeletecan't wait to hear about this final adventure--i look forward to your description of the course, the continent and anything else you feel like describing!! I know you'll finish and I know you'll celebrate with an ice cold drink--probably colder than you've ever had before...on second thought, maybe a nice cup of cocoa would be better!! In any case, congratulations and can't wait for the final chapter.
