Mind Set Win Podcast: Hosts Cédric Dumont Kate Courtney
The Ice Captain (who I thought was the Vice Captain!) says we must always attain the ice-pack by this afternoon. The cargo off-loading lecture at 9 turns out to be the best so far – the man brought some humour into it. What’s higher than skiing or snowboarding on a fantastic field? Hitting the snow at a number of snow spots on the one trip. On an Intrepid group ski and snowboarding holiday, you'll be able to try as a lot as 5 different snow fields on the same tour in Queenstown and past. With trips ranging from 5 to 12 days, there’s more than sufficient on-snow motion to fulfill even the keenest skier.
They can be hunted all yr round, but the really helpful time might be from April to August during the rut. During this period they'll have their best lengthy black winter coats. Himalayan Tahr are giant goat-like animals, native to the central Himalayan ranges of India and Nepal.
The story was that the harbour police needed to talk to him urgently ….however actually it is his daughter, who has come to welcome him back after his 14 months away – on a jet-ski! Then eventually we are nosing our method into the harbour – in the nick of time – the mist closes in simply as we dock at 8 o’clock. We nonetheless have the skidoo, so four of us determine to go all the means down to the Northern winter depot to see how dozer driver Koos is doing. It is exhilarating whizzing down the S1, on this perfect day.
I didn’t go into it on the outward journey as I was seasick, as have been so many others. Imagine everyone getting seasick in here? Should’ve asked when he stated “Any questions? ”, however we couldn’t wait to get out of there.
It’s higher than the bridge, the very best you'll find a way to go. Today it’s ‘Christmas cake’ ice – like peaked royal icing. At 1 there is another SANAP lecture, the first bit filling us in a bit on the place we're and what's going to occur when we get to the ice-shelf. The ship is finding a lot of swimming pools of open water, which they name puddles – there is a Jacques on the bridge, whom D has nick-named Jacques Puddleduck! The 2nd part is about emergency procedures at SANAE – vitally necessary however I see no much less than one man nodding off! It snows a bit after lunch, decreasing the vis.

An exciting day; we do our washing and I lose my pearl earring on the treadmill! D involves my rescue (he’s such a star), together with one other guy in the fitness center. They virtually take it aside and fortunately discover the pearl, but not the butterfly. It’s such a aid that the machine didn’t jam. The Captain strikes the ship to a new position closer to the ice-shelf correct and we see much more penguins and a seal.
Finally the all clear is given to disembark. We are delighted to satisfy the stunning Amys’ mother and father. In what looks as if a very quick time, the ship empties – all except the chopper guys.
Amy’s video will be so helpful for the inquiry. The crew lastly handle to get the poor injured bird into the hangar. The 205 is available in and after off-loading, seats are installed and they go off to fetch one other load of individuals from SANAE. Then they do two extra trips to bring the Cat-train lot to the ship. Meanwhile, somebody, (who?)has agreed to take two Belgian Squirrel helicopters again to CT and one of them lands on the heli-deck to see how they're going to match them in.
2 lectures at present; a medical one, which is interesting – should ensure we don’t get frostbite, seems very nasty – and then one on communications, which she manages to make fairly interesting…. Then I do my stroll on the treadmill and do forty five minutes at 5.eight kms an hour, just over 4kms – whereas D does our washing! Tonight there is a party in the pub – fancy costume, something beginning with ‘P’– D and I don’t like dressing up…. We go up to the bridge and there could be another one displaying up on the radar but we can’t see it with the naked eye.
