Comments
Back up to a gallop today. Good satpix provided by Casey this morning suggests potentially reasonable ice conditions north of the station at this time. However, there is a lot of ice upstream and the weather over the next 2-3 days will be the key as to how it all plays out. Casey fly-off point ETA remains at late p.m. on Sunday, 2 March, but current forecast for Sunday is for high winds, poor visibility. The ship is now on Casey time. Enjoy the week end. REGARDS Martin and Chris
