Hi Peter,

Some news from Sydney.

Hope to see you in Melbourne later in the year.

Cheers

Marius

Hi Peter,

It was a big day out there, and even though the seas were not as big as I’ve seen in Antarctica it was quite scary. At least
in Antarctica you are not hard up against another ship in bad weather, which is when things can go seriously wrong.
Nor are you looking over your shoulder at the cliffs behind you, which are getting closer. I was very proud to be with

the other two guys aboard, Brad and Alex who kept it together even though we were operating at the maximum.

I will go through what I have and have seen to find a picture or two. I have a first operation on my shoulder on

Wednesday to reattach some tendons, so will have plenty of time to look.

Hi Peter

Yes, two tendons on the right rotator cuff and a meniscus tear on the right knee. Probably a small price to pay in the
whole scheme of things!

I have attached some pics that give some idea of the conditions.
