Life Aboard

62 37.59S
Temp: -0.1'C

And we rise to new heights. One of my team members (Izzy) has been personally banned by the Captain from one, running on deck and two, walking on deck by herself. She managed to fall twice in front of the Captain.

It snowed all night! The entire ship was covered with inches of snow icing waiting to be rolled and thrown! The rolling assault of ice flows continue to bare down on us and the icicles lengthen.

We celebrated our graduation last night. We made our hats. A different colour for each person (mine was organge) attached to a orange Bennie with a special (apple and cinnamon) teabag dangling as the hat string. "The Nutcracker" was playing as we were lead into the bar and fed drain cleaner (cheap tequila).

We set fire to the ship today. We blew the plugs in our front lab...with smoke and flames. I'd like to point out that I was at the back playing with snow and it wasn't my plug.

We've organised Christmas presents for some of the crew who really go out of their way to help us out (the hoodies I mentioned earlier), so we set about wrapping them last night - with tissue paper and psychedelic spray paint we created a whole range of neon Christmas wrapping.
