Adventures of the Adventure Team and the 7 Summits-Club go on. On December, 18th we could not depart from Patriot Hills and then bad weather came for several days. We were seven persons here plus Victor Bojarsky came later with his command. The weather has improved only today in the morning. We could get out of the tent, filled up by snow on the roofs.

In the morning we did not expect, that all so will well turn. We were going to change dates of a s home flight for Victor Bobok, Volodia Pushkarev and Israfil Ashurly. But all was changed.
And, at last our tortures seem to be ended. We were just informed, that the plane has taken off. from Punta Arenas. Today is December, 22. People sitting in the plane should arrive to Antarctica on December, 19th . And on December, 29th they already should come back. In general it is possible to climb Vinson even in 3 days. If it will be good weather and good team. But Antarctica does not wish to gift us.

Approximately in 5 o`clock in the evening the plane has landed. Arthur Karapetjan went out ашкые, then Vince Bousselair. It is my new command. Also Ravil Shamgulov has arrived by this plane. He is a Russian scientist who now lives in Canada. We were with him in one climbing club in Moscow. Now he has his own plan how to climb Vinson.
In general, everything is not to bad. Weather is simply ideal. I shall add, that Vins is a priest, and I hope, that helps us to get good weather for all days.
