3 Feb 2006
 Beginning yesterday afternoon we encountered long swells that gently raise 
and then lower the boat..  It was a fairly comfortable ride.  Today the seas 
have changed a bit and are averaging twelve feet.  The ride is a little more 
uncomfortable, but not a problem for most of the team.  We are experiencing 
winds speed of 33 knots with gusts higher.....direction is from the SSW. 
Outside air temperature is 36 deg F.  Current position is 65 deg 2 min S. 
Lat and 65 deg, 44 mins West at 1900Z on Feb 3rd.
We have almost 2,000 QSOs on two radios using an OCF Windom antenna and a 
4-BTV.  Callsign is XR9A/MM.  The Team is in good spirits, only two are 
having trouble with sea sickness.  Training is continuing on the use of the 
Icom 756 Pro III's and Alpha 99 amps and with Writelog.  Last night after 
dinner we viewed a video and discussed once again how to erect the shelters. 
Most of the team has hands-on experience with shelter erection from previous 
training, but six have not.  Tomorrow will be spent moving our equipment 
from the container on the lower deck to the main deck and staging for 
helicopter airlift!
Current ETA at Peter I is midnight, Sunday, Feb 5th.  This means the 
earliest we could begin setting up the camp would be the following morning 
on Monday... weather permitting!
73's to all!
