The Slugs conquered the weather and were first into CP3 located just north of King Christen Island at 17.20 local time. As team member Lucy Maizels said:
“It is blowing a hooley here and it is freezing but it is Brilliant”
Her other team members Rob MacAllister and Jo Winchcombe could not be heard in the wind but we were told were equally ecstatic.
We await now the arrival of the Internationals some time later this evening.
In Resolute we are now contemplating dropping a food barrel to the teams if we can not land tomorrow!
