Today, the 5th November 2008 is a watershed day in the calendar of our expedition. It is the final day of our wintering over period. The 28th expedition members are arriving in the wee hours of 6th November. By the time this post goes online, they would already have arrived. The concluding chapter of our Antarctica saga would have begun. The only task left would be to await our date of departure from the icy continent.
It is going to be a sleepless night, as we await fresh faces and ideas and a fresh approach to life. The expected time of departure of the ALCI flight from Cape Town is 9 PM Maitri time on 5th Nov, and it would arrive here at 3AM on 6th. The reception team would leave for the airport at 1 AM, while the rest of us would wait anxiously for the arrival of the new team.
