Once again, we should be able to receive text only emails at our mailasail address (can't write it here in case it gets picked up by a spammer). The three of them have done a great job getting the boat ready, we passed the rig check, and even got through the ARC "safety check", of course I have yet to have a chat with the organisers, they have not replied to my emails!

The parties are in full flow, Eric Heiberg a new crewmember has already arrived, Vegard and I arrive on thursday, if I can get out of Hammerfest in time, snowing rather hard at the moment, and forecast to continue! 

I can't think of anything else to write, I shall be busy with some small items once I get down there, but hopefully Ina will get a chance to send in a quick note.
