    Friday 13th and bad news

    March 13, 2020 in Antarctica ⋅ ☁️ 1 °C

    After a great day and a pleasant BBQ dinner on the top deck in the lee of Cuverville Island we were summonsed for a boat “ recap and briefing”.
    Sadly we were then informed that Argentina was stopping all of its flights out of the country to US, UK, Europe and China from midnight Monday 16th.
    Due to this we were leaving Antarctica immediately to get us back to Ushuaia by the morning of Monday 16th Instead of Tuesday 17th as planned 😕😕
    We were to lose our last day in Antarctica which is so sad but can’t be helped. Those who don’t need to fly out early like us are able to stay on the boat on Monday until Tuesday am so we will be doing that.
    Immediately the anchors were pulled off and we steamed off towards the Drake Passage.
    I stowed anything that could move or clatter and went to bed for what was to be a v uncomfortable night.
    Bye Antarctica u have been amazing!!
