 Updates
from the Peter I DXpedition team!
06 March 1030UTC
The Team landed safely in Punta Arenas at 1945 on Saturday evening and
went immediately for the hotel, hot, stable showers and a late dinner.
It is great to be back in civilization and it is relatively warm....55
degs F.
Sunday was spent either sleeping-in and washing clothes or touring.
Most of the team was touring parts of Patagonia.
Last night was another team dinner, while the team leaders had a final
meeting to settle up with the DAP, the charter company. Unfortunately,
there were additional helicopter flying hours and days aboard the ship
that had to be settled. We traded some expedition equipment and cash to
settle the account. So the most expensive Dxpedition in history just got
more expensive!
Today, Monday, is a travel day for most of the team with us all heading
home...at last. It has been 35 days since we all met here in Punta Arenas
to begin this incredible adventure.
As we head home, we have with us some fantastic memories and some scenes
indelibly imprinted on our minds.
We hope that you have been able to enjoy this, along with us, via the
website. Our objective was for you to see it, feel it and live it almost
like we did! I hope we succeeded!
