April 16, 2004
Weather: whiteout
Temperature: -18 degrees C
Wind direction: South east
Wind speed: 3 meters/s
Barometer: 800hPa
I started out with the 8-square-meter skisail in poor visibility due to the whiteout. No sooner than we reached 1 meter, we felt ill and stopped. In the midst of whiteout, you will lose a sense of direction and eventually get a feeling akin to sea sickness. So we decided to proceed no more. We set up the tent and rested here.
