Comments
All well and making good time. ETA at the northern edge of Casey's outer ice band is back to overnight Wednesday-Thursday. Time from there to Newcomb Bay is subject to ice, but if it proves to be reasonable we might (MIGHT) arrive Casey by early afternoon Thursday (watch this space!). Current weather outlook looks good for the next few days up to the ice edge, but Thursday's prog chart suggests conditions may not be all that favourable then. We shall see! REGARDS Martin and Steve
