Final Preparations Before Antarctica

Hello dear readers

This is my first entry to this blog, as you can you get from the title we are preparing for our cruise to Antarctica, this would be my first cruise. These are stressful times for both me and Brice, We are making our final checks, making diagrams amd buying last minute stuff (sometime over doing it a bit as you can see)

just 1 of those plastic bags with the connectors in them would have been enough for us but we don’t know for sure so why not buy all of them to be sure. Like today we just noticed that we didn’t send Teflon tapes with our gear which we packed so carefully about 2 month ago, and without Teflon tapes we couldn’t connect some of our stuff, Imagine the whole project would be in jeopardy because of Teflon tapes, that’s how things can go in Antarctica, No Home Depot, No amazon , no overnight delivery. That is the main reason we are so panicky right now.

There are also personal reasons too, Like for me, I have never been on a ship for 6 weeks before add that to being on polar regions and well, lets say things may not go that smoothly.

But all in all, I am extremely excited to be able to see the Antarctica for the first time.Will keep you guys updated.

Wish us luck
