Comments
Currently 140nm north of Davis, heading west along the edge of the most solid ice, trying for easier conditions at about 76E, then south. Recent northerly weather has pushed the pack hard in against the Four Ladies Bank, blocking our passage. Hoping for an ice recce using the S76 ex Davis when weather and fly off range permit. Using both engines, but maintaining a reserve of power.
