Nah; it's a year ago since I was there. was not on the Explorer but did see it out there, moving slowly ahead of us in the La Mare channel. Looks like it should have been moving slower this week.
Any roads I'm safe; just in the door from a four wheel trip from Dublin; that makes the Antarctic look like the teddy bears picnic. Moving off the east coast over 20 years ago was one of my better decisions.
