Greg Vernovage checked in from Punta Arenas on Thursday evening. The team’s pretty much ready to go. Here’s hoping weather is good on the 29th so the gang can fly to the Ice.
“Good day for the team.  Gear checks done, great day in Punta Arenas, some lunch food and some repacking.  This is going to be a great team.  They are ready to go and laughing like crazy for now.  Briefing day tomorrow followed with the gear getting weighed and loaded.  The team is going to sneak in the Magellan’s foot tomorrow as well.  Have to touch the foot!  We are in for another amazing sunset if anyone stays awake for it.  Almost 11 pm and just enough clouds in the sky to show some color. All is well.†– Greg
