Update 1/29 - Port Charcot

Today we moved to Port Charcot, a historic site dating back to 1909. Google Charcot and Antarctica if you are interested. The weather is not very good so we are staying inside today and hope to venture out tomorrow. This is Antarctica and perfect days like yesterday don’t come very often.
Our keel touched bottom yesterday as we were attempting to find a way out of an ice filled Port Lockroy. No disaster since we have a steel hull and Stephen was going dead slow. But not something that brings a smile to anyone’s face either. Audrey and Simon took a portable depth sounder out in the zodiac and found a route with enough water for Xplore.
