Comment on Thick and fast by pgoyal

…my mind drained of thought, breathing slowed, and I found myself as a calm oasis in the cold chaos. Perhaps this is why I have always loved foul weather; it shrinks your world down to personal endeavour; it leaves you alone against the elements, but the loneliness, the isolation allows your introspective thoughts to become clear without the sensory overload of normal life. For me, sitting in a storm which demonstrates my fragile insignificance defines my very presence.

well put man. I’ve been searching how to wordify that feeling and 10 years later I have come across it.

Thank you for glowing commentary on your visit to New Island, and hope the rest of your journey followed a similar pattern of enjoyment.

Just to put the record straight, the whole of New Island is under ownership by the New Island Conservation Trust. (Tony Chater sold to the Trust in 2005/6).

For further information check out http://www.newislandtrust.com (in the process of being updated but still very much current).

Dear SA Agulhas team,

I recently learnt through a friend of mine that SA Agulhas will have its open day again on Saturday 20.6.09 from 10.00 – 15.00.

As we would like to come aboard on that day, and even bring a friend who had been to the Antartica herself earlier this year, I was just looking for more details on your website how to find you on that day, but have not been successful.

I would very much appreciate if you could let me have this info ASAP.

Thanks and kind regards

Just back as ship’s surgeon from an Antarctic voyage from Ushaia to Cape town on board the barque Europa (www.barkeuropa.com) I lectured for our surgical residents on my trip and could include your excellent research on the self-operation of Dr Rogozov. Thank you very much.

Hi Dr Rosjs
could you please help me
I conceived and helped build a solid brass Sun Dial which was send to Sanae about 5 years ago
due to the annual team change I lost contact with the base
and therfore also with the sundial
could you let me know @ greg@jsigns.co.za if the Dial still stands
@ the Sanae Base ?
the team leader of the team that helped me to achieve the goal of setting up the Sundial was Beneke De Wit ( sanae 43)
i do thank you for your trouble in advance
greg Hogan

welcome back to the land of the living though the concept of life has changed! it was awesome to follow your travelling experience, and though SA shall be slighly more trivial in the human concept, i hope you keep it up, merely with changed scenary. m
