Comments
Cantering along! Estimating Casey's outer ice band by late evening local tonight. Will then assess situation when the light is good enough very early on Thursday morning. If visibility OK and things appear reasonable will then look at heading into the ice towards Newcomb Bay. Current weather outlook for late Thursday and into Friday not encouraging with very high winds and snow forecast.
