Thanks - four degrees still to do; what could possibly go wrong?Well done OP! Another lurker here

I found this image from 27Jul3306 which shows I clearly intended to start the circumnavigation from (0,-110) - so that's where I'll go to complete it, and not the longitude I mentioned earlier.
Okay, let's do another degree:
(0,-113)

Penultimate degree.

So, that's nine degrees travelled today, and ONE to go. It reminds me of reading Victor Hugo's Les Misérables and how it took me twenty minutes before I could turn to the last page.
I'm thinking it would be fun to share the last degree with some other commanders - especially those who have already visited me to do filming and chatting. That's why I'm pausing here to have a chance to organise something.

Let me put a bit of a shoutout in the Planetary CIrcumnavigation Discord and forum thread as well to see who might be interested in joining you. Depending on timing I'd definitely be up for tagging along (and videoing your final degree).
I always like to cheer on the end of a circumnavigation but I'm too far away... : (
I'm on PS but hope it all goes well
It's looking like 4:15pm IGT, Saturday. You'd be very welcome.
^Erratum: 3:15pm IGT
Ditto.
In case you do pop along, I've sent you a friend request. If you accept that, I'll send you a Discord invitation for the server we'll use for voice.
The final degree to complete the circumnavigation
Done! Complete! Finished! Now for the polar circumnavigation - NOT. It's off to the physiotherapist and ophthalmologist for me.
