Time stands still in a photo.

Due to some nasty weather that moved into the area we are leaving Deception Island without landing again, this is Antarctica after all and weather changes can be both quick and violent. The winds have picked up so much that we are waiting near the exit of the caldera for them to die down enough to permit safe travel to our next destination. But more of that tomorrow, as I’m not exactly sure what is going on.

Part of me doesn’t want to even get to station, I’d like to just chill on the boat, but I know when I get to station and settle in that I won’t want to get on the boat. I know it was hard to leave my friends last year, so I will be glad to see them in a few days, even if it is just for a week or so. If the first few weeks go smoothly I think I’m gonna see if I can stay for a year, I’d love to see all the wildlife in the summer, would really be awesome.

Also for some reason today, I feel like I’m stuck in a time warp, or at least that time stepped into some gum and is having a hard time moving forward. With all the stuff we’ve been doing the past few days it is no surprise that a day of chilling out is taking so long, to move on.
