Offical Forcast for Today...

From the offical forecast: "Overall pattern is for crappy weather with

short periods of less than crappy. A Deep low pressure system in the

western Bellingshausen Sea is supporting a strong frontal boundary that

will pound the area throughout the day. Expect periods of slightly

better weather than crappy later afternoon into tonight."

This is the last time that the Lawerance M. Gould was at Palmer before heading back North to Punta Areans, Chile. This is the last time we will see the the ship or any new people until mid September. Our winter population is now down to 18 people.
