Have you ever noticed how much better you feel in the morning when the sun is shining bright, no clouds in the sky, the wind is calm and the temperature is pleasant? Those were the conditions this morning when I woke up. On the bus ride to work I could see the moon hanging over Mt. Erebus. It’s the first time I’ve seen the moon in a long, long time. There was a traffic jamb in McMurdo Sound this morning. The tanker pulled up to the ice pier and the Oden was in the Sound with the Willy B breaking up ice. I’ve never seen three ships in the area at once. The supply ship is about a week out. We are way behind on delivering fuel to the South Pole so that will be the order of business the next couple of weeks. What a great day to be alive!!
