Nov 8th – Day 34 of “The Commute”

No go. Weather in McMurdo cancelled today’s departure. We will try again tomorrow morning.

Weather was Condition 1 out on the airfields for most of the night/morning (which means high winds and low-visibility). The runway will have to be regroomed; so hopefully the winds die down soon, or tomorrow morning won’t be likely for takeoff. Winds have been gusty; up around 20-30knts all day.

Unfortunately they won’t cancel the flight until ~10 mins before we need to be at the transport building, so it’s one of those get-up-and-check types of deals. Get up at 0600, get breakfast early, and then make sure you’re ready to go by 0700.

Just another day in paradise!
