Comments

Continued to make slow progress through close pack first year ice up to eight tenths coverage with leads and some water until 2055LT when the weather closed in and whiteout forced us to hove to. Got underway again this morning at 1030LT and are again making slow progress through similar ice conditions. Currently 152nm from Davis but arrival time uncertain given the ice conditions currently being experiencing and will provide an update when things become clearer. Emergency muster conducted this morning and all pax turned out as required. All on board well but looking forward to reaching Davis. REGARDS Richard and Jenny
