Comments

Made very good progress yesterday. Currently negotiating loose pack ice in conditions of restricted visibility. Intend to turn south at 105E this afternoon and head for Petersen Bank. Possible ETA Casey Tuesday morning. Yesterday: Established voice communications with Casey. A very successful Russian Night last night with the staff in national dress. A somewhat quiet Sunday morning has followed. REGARDS J&L
