Yesterday’s weather reports indicate that the weekend is our best bet to leave Wasa. We don’t know why, but we didn’t get a weather forecast today. The German meteorologist at Neumayer moved to the Russian research station Novolazarevskaya, and we heard that there was some IT issue. Anyway, we don’t need one to realise what’s going on. After a season with splendid weather, we are having our share of bad weather. Cross your fingers for a break in the weather, soon we will have to rebook our tickets from Cape Town.

Both flags and poles are now down. Flags have been mended and poles tied to the ground. Photo: Carl Lundberg
There doesn’t seem to be anything Karin can’t make. Nat is ready for Sushi night. Photo: Carl Lundberg
