Comments
Finally reached the Vincennes polynya late last night after a very hard slog through some tough ice and anchored at Casey this morning. All personnel and deck cargo (including reefers) now ashore, and now working Three T'ween starboard . Fuel line connected and testing close so pumping should start very soon. Weather pleasant and the 2-3 day outlook is positive. At this stage looking to depart for Davis on Friday (but watch this space). Everyone is enjoying getting into the work. Regards Martin & Steve.
