Comments

Blizzard conditions continued all day and into the night but have eased this morning and currently wids SE at 26 to 32 knots. Wind still too high for safe crane operations to recommence so no cargo operations possible at the moment. Conditions yesterday prevented any cargo or passenger movements but we have been able to undertake passenger transfer this morning. Weather forecast is for winds to continue at current level until later this afternoon so hopefull of getting underway again at that time. Prediction for the next two days is for favourable weather conditions so will make most of situation as Saturday may see a return to stronger winds. Will keep you apraised of developments if the situation changes. REGARDS Richard and Jenny
