IMG Vinson Team Catching Flight to Antarctica

November 29, 2009

Phil Ershler called in at 9am Saturday the 28th, Punta Arenas time.

They just got the call, and the weather is a go, so they will be heading to the airport in one hour. The members are all excited and looking forward to a grand adventure.

The team was lucky to be delayed only one day by weather in Punta, which is way above the norm. All is well with the team.
