Tosol (1162) Oppy appears to have begun the drive back to Duck Bay with a nice long drive that has taken us to just past the 1134-1137 leg, if I'm right:
As I wrote already in another thread, the current plans are to make one stop en route back to Duck Bay to reimage Cape St. Vincent from Cape of Good Hope. Near the end of the return to Duck Bay they plan more imaging of Cape St. Mary/Beacon from Verde. Are there places along the route you'd like to see again? Views from new angles? Better views of/from the Beacon would be one of my picks. That is our best bet to catch a glimpse of Endurance, too. Of course many of these ideas won't have any scientific interest, but it's still fun to imagine. Dare I ask it: predictions for date of arrival at Duck Bay?  Edit: Alan reminds me we've already got an entry pool thread. |

If we had a microphone at Victoria - I think you would hear a V8 rumble.
