Re: ARLA/CLUSTER: 3Y0I - Expedição abortada/adiada

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Pois é Salomão, mas nas condições em que o navio está, será, penso eu,
arriscar muito. Não que me surpreenda muito a atitude dos polacos e do Don
em particular.

Mas nestas coisas, o capitão do navio, terá decidir se tem ou não condições
para prosseguir, não se pondo ele próprio, a sua tripulação e passageiros
em perigo. Aquilo não é sitio para se brincar às viagens de recreio, pois
alem de inóspito é extremamente isolado, onde o arriscar se pode pagar
muitissimo caro.

Alias, ainda bem que a equipa abandonou a aquela ideia verdadeiramente
peregrina de ir para lá de veleiro. Também não se pode esquecer que se está
a aproximar o inverno no hemisfério sul.
