Ready and waiting to go

Unfortunately the start to the expedition has been slightly delayed due to problems with our car and boat transport. At the moment we are in staying in Tortel (47.48.14 S 73.32.24 W) but hope to start as soon as we can.

Other than that everything is going well as we are all packed and ready to go. It is a relief to have all of our gear finally loaded in our packs and sleds which are heavy but manageable.

On the drive here we had clear views of spectacular snowy mountain ranges although now in Tortel we are experiencing some wet weather.
I am feeling confident despite a few pre-trip nerves and looking forward to getting a few days done. Every day is 1.8 kilograms of less weight (i.e. food) to haul!
