Just an update from the last 2 days. I have been at Finning with Alan working to prepare the new CAT 950H following its arrival late on Tuesday. It's a long way home for the delivery driver who had to bring it all the way from the factory in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Finning is the CATerpillar dealer in Punta and they have very kindly allowed us the use of their workshop for the installation of the Webasto (Cooling system Heater), Controls for the Snow Blower, VHF Radio and a few other bits. Work isn't quite finished but Alan will remain here until the Machine is ready and then has the unenviable task of Squeezing it into the Ilyushin. Look forward to seeing it arrive at the other end.
So the next time I post should be remotely from Union Glacier, can't wait to see the place again. The most breathtaking landscape you can imagine....
I leave you with a couple of photos of the CAT being unloaded and in the workshop, next photos to follow upon my return.
Fingers crossed for you Finn, if all goes to plan you should be leaving about now. Safe onward travels! Lots of love from all at home.
ReplyDeleteHope your journey is a safe one lad. Have been watching a new Attenborough series today called "Frozen Earth". It was great seeing both poles in hi-def. I can only imagine what it looks like in real life. Have an amazing time. Will see you for an ale upon your return! Muchos amore, Reg x x x
