January 31, 2018, 0830 UTC:  Bouvet Island came into view at about 0600 UTC
today.  We dropped anchor at 0810 UTC in approximately 25 meters of water
off the east side of the island between Kapp Meteor and Swarthamaren.

The temperature is 2 degrees Centigrade. Thirty five knot winds are blowing
out of the northeast with a driving rain.  Visibility and ceiling are
estimated at 1 mile and 500 feet, respectively.

We are poised and ready when our weather window arrives.  Our first strike
team, selecting and securing a site, will be EY8MM, KØIR and Alejo Contreras
(Chilean Antarctic explorer, guide and mountaineer).

Ralph, KØIR
