I think we may have fallen off the edge of the Earth. It's fortunate that this ship has levitational capabilities.

luckily the ship is not in Estonia tonight. I here you could freeze real fast there.

I don't doubt that. Do they have the snow that the eastern seaboard [U.S.] has been denied so far this year?

If you look at a reality check thread like what's the weather doing http://h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/brunel/F19585?thread=190270&latest=1 you will see that the UK seems to be getting snow but not the United states (with the exception of the Rocky Mountain region). Also southern Florida is probably getting drenched today which will come as good news for the Everglades eco-system but not so good news for all the cities like Miami which will have storm sewers struggling to keep up.

I was mentioning the UK snow situation with my father last night at supper. I told him that the unusual cooling of Britain and Northern Europe sounded like a symptom of a weakened Gulf Stream.

This sounds like something Al gore was warning about.
Meanwhile meteorologists are scratching their collective heads and talking about the North Atlantic Arctic Oscillation going positive and being out of synch with the North American Arctic Oscillation.

So anyway do we have a location on the Blood today, or do we have to track down the Nasvigator?

Probably checking the backlog and doing dead reckining to get our position. I have given up trying to find Kes.

found this on the web
Russian news agencies quoted Colonel Aleksei Zolotukhin as saying the fragments fell 1,250 kilometers west of Wellington Island, off the coast of Chile. Since a piece of it bounced off our SEP: field we must have been near Chile a month ago. I know we stopped for a swim. Did we ever restart the engines?

My guess is we are probably parked just west of Isla Robinson Crusoe.

I hope we don't ever mess up the so badly that we have to find another habitable planet to settle on.
