Radio Darts!

Tonight I was invited to play Radio Darts at Scott Base (the New Zealand base just down the road). A group of us met at Derelict Junction (the Bus Stop of McMurdo) and loaded into the shuttle van. We had two teams and the Scott Base had one team. Using the radio, all 3 of our teams here played against two Polie teams (from the South Pole - we are actually 800 miles from them). We played two games of 301, and my team (me, a NASA guy, and the winter Station Manager) won the second game! Whenever someone wins, the team on the other end of the radio has to cheer for them. So we received a big cheer from the Polies! The kiwis brought out an amazing cheese and fruit spread. I helped myself to plenty of grapes since I'm not sure when I'll see them again. We had a few drinks to end out the night and came back to McMurdo!
