Hopefully they will magically appear in my room once we are on station. With so much stuff heading down, it is remarkable that everything got there. It was a exciting experience as it meant that we were getting very close to going. I was also looking forward (in some ways at least) to spending a week of quality time with family and friends before heading away.

Cargo Cut-off
Cargo for our voyage (the second trip of the Aurora Australis for the season - V2 for short) had to be all sorted by October 4, ready for he ship to leave on October 20. It was a bit of a stress packing my entire life into a cubic metre of cargo space. So prior to the ship going I was living out of a backpack comprising the 30kg of stuff we were allowed to take on board with us. Everything was chucked in the back of utes and vans at the various accommodations that had been provided by the antarctic division, and was taken down to the wharf, where it was all weighed and logged into the electronic consignment tracking system. Here's a pic of my stuff (4 plastic crates and a couple of cardboard boxes) on the ute.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
