Comments

King Neptune visited the vessel yesterday afternoon. Blizzard yesterday afternoon and last night prevented travel between 1415 and 0630, but appears to have loosened pack to the south. Ice conditions permitting, we expect to be within fly-off range to Casey this evening. But weather is likely to remain unsuitable for flying today. REGARDS Ian and Vicky
