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.

This is the little place that I live in Antarctica, Palmer Station.

And the beard contest.....

So we shaved clean one day and this is our daily photos up till now....

I built that tiny wood structure at the base of this "Yokohama" or what I would refer to it as a bumper. It was built to help sturdy the massive bumper while the ship headed north through the Drake Straight. I hope it was sea worthy!
