Hannah has been picked up and by the people at Alert, a Canadian base.

My comments about charging people for rescue was that idiots that get themselves in hot water through there own stupidity, should bear the costs. Hannah has a well thought out plan and is the most accomplished polar traveler alive. She has the record for the fastest time, man or woman, across Antarctica to the South Pole. Plus you can't travel to Antarctica or sledge to the North Pole without $300,000.00 worth of extraction insurance.

Emergency pick up is part of her contarct with Ken Borek Air, the same planes and pilots that flew us in Antarctica.

I am planning to sail around Cape Horn and then down to Antarctica on Hannah's sailboat next winter.
