Each three hours Mark (from of ALE company) calls on my mobile
phone and informs a condition of weather in Antarctica. He speaks, that we will be able to fly to Antarctida soon, probably. However it does not occur. Yesterday there was a meeting, the management of the firm has informed about rescue operations in Antarctica. All have remained alive, but is clear, that Antarctica is not a place where it is possible to relax. One year ago we also were blocked, almost in the same place.
The period of restoration after flight was finished. It is impossible to eat and sleep so much, we have got tired to go on museums of Punta Arenas. We have decided to train. The first was Êàro. He has found the old trunk and drags it on neighboring hills. John Christiana has received a new name - "Vania". And he already started to respond. Now John trains in a local sports hall. Volodia Aristarkhov has finished to read the fifth kg of books. He also refuses to use any drinks up to an ascent. And Igor Pohvalin conducts investigation for the benefit of factory "Massandra". He will carry out tasting the Chilean vines and writes down sensations in confidential notebook.
And I sit on the phone in the whole days. And also I think about a plan of capture of Mount Vinson for 3 days. It looks as if with delays of a start, we shall have only three days for an ascent.
