Comments
Weather closed in late yesterday with fog, snow showers and visibility became restricted and speed reduced last night. Entered drifting ice this morning at 64 40, 85 21 at 0720 local time and have remained in light ice since. Observed drifting orange fishing buoy at 63 29, 85 21 at 1255 local time yesterday. Reduction in speed probably will result in arrival at Davis early Sunday morning. Held radio schedule with SL Davis this morning to discuss final planning issues. All on board well and keenly observing wildlife on ice flows.
