Tui Class and everyone else at Prebbleton, I'm looking forward to meeting you on Friday! I never did get to make a snow house. I've always wanted to try it, and I thought I might have to make one when I made a dash for the Pole on my recent visit. But I didn't get very far, and I was back in my warm snuggly bed aboard the ship that night. People who have slept in snow caves tell me that it's quite warm as long as you've got a really good sleeping bag. SBxx Question from: Room 9 Spotswood Primary to: Someone else dated: 1 Mar Question: We would like to know if Mr Tippett went for a swim in his bare skin while Shackleton was swimming in his bear skin? Answer: Hello R9, I can say that I did not swim as I thought it was too cold for me! It took a long time for Shackleton to warm up. Question: How long did it take you to get dry after your swim? You looked very cold and wet. We can't go swimming here today because it is too cold and windy. Answer: Hi Room 9. The water was -0.1 degrees Celsius so I didn't stay in too long! One of our crew members, Anna, is a long distance swimmer and she had a quick swim and the ship's doctor, Sharon, was once a member of the NZ synchronised swimming team so she did a wee display.
