As expected, PRB was towed into Ushuaia yesterday evening (GMT) and was able to moor up. Jean le Cam, met up with his wife and they are due to fly back to France shortly. Vincent Riou will follow later in the week once a few of his team are ready to take over from him. The goal is to bring PRB back on a cargo ship as quickly as possibly. Jean Le Cam was interviewed in Ushuaia: "We managed to bring the boat around to Ushuaia thanks to a really great crew. It's extraordinary to find people everywhere who put helping others above everything else. Over the past few days I've seen a huge amount of human kindness. It's been a time in my life when humans have been more important than the material concerns we normally worry about throughout the year. It gives you a different perspective on things. It's been an amazing experience."
