Failed to launch boat but I wasn't thwarted by the weather rather the batteries for the receiver. They just took all day to charge up. Instead I spent the day wrestling with my magnum opus. It was really beginning to wind me up as different bits niggled and others irked. So much so that I have developed a grinding headache and my eyes are pointing in different directions. I did manage to film a whale surfacing in the sink and sorted out the sounds of mating seals that seem to have accidentally appeared in the aurora sequence (I made them louder). Perhaps it is time to stop.
Another thing I'm having trouble with is a title, nothing snappy is leaping to mind. I've got a quote from Scott's journals: "goodbye to all the day-dreams" but that seems far too romantic. "Impressions of Antarctica" is just naff. "Voyage under my desk"? "Alex Pearl's excellent adventure" it gets worse and worse.
