Comments on: Shipwreck in Antarctica I http://www.photobits.com/archives/4 Eli's Travel & Photography Blog Thu, 20 Aug 2009 05:39:42 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Eli http://www.photobits.com/archives/4/comment-page-1#comment-21 Eli Mon, 09 Mar 2009 19:59:28 +0000 http://www.photobits.com/blog/archives/4#comment-21 Hi Jenny, Thank you for the comment and your interest. I put up the two posts I have online late last year, but dated them to match when the accident occured. They are from notes I have that I originally planned to use to publish a book or article about what happened. For now I have a lot of work to do that needs to take precedence over completing the rest of the story. After that I will work on publishing the complete story including my time in the lifeboat, the rescue, and the aftermath. Hi Jenny,

The last update I had was that it should be out in January, but it looks like it has been delayed. Hopefully a full and accurate investigation report will be released...

I am a dedicated Antarctic sailor and explorer. I was there working for the U S Coast Guard and the United States Antarctic Research Project Scientists. I developed a great love and a healthy respect for the natural wonders that I observed there. Given another time and another place I would have been one of your shipmates on your cruise. Because my heart is still there, I could not help but do my best to reconstruct your exploits and adventures on the fateful trip. My account is a compilation of the available news reports at the time. I look forward to being able to read a first hand account. Rest assured I will spend some quality time reading your firsthand account. You are a lucky man. God was with you as surely as he was with Jonah on his trip to Joppa when he took a detour through the belly of a whale. You and I are now members of a very exclusive club. I thank God I am alive to recount it. Continuous blessings, ichbinalj www.cgachasehall.blogspot.com Dear Eli,
