News from the BBC film crew in the Antarctic..

Hey Tom and all at Wheal Kitty,

Cheers for yours, the kit is going great. We followed a pod of Orca for over 18 hours and 75 nautical miles a couple of days ago, I was standing on the wheelhouse roof the entire time and just wearing a base layer, the Merino hoody, the down jacket and Storm Jacket - which is impressive when you think how very cold it is down here!

You really would not believe the enormity of this place. All sense of scale goes out of the window. Imagine turning Pentire Point into ice and floating it out to sea and you have a reasonable size iceberg, although we are seeing much bigger!

Getting some lovely film and stills images, can’t send you any pics unfortunately as the yacht email cannot handle anything more than text. Looking forward to showing you some pics on our return though. We will start filming leopard seals in a couple of days and I am looking forward to getting in the water with those big fellas, will let you know how it goes.

Cheers for now,

Jonathan.
