Comments

Not stuck... thinking. Distance covered as reported is distance made good. We actually "covered" a lot more ground trying to find a way through the ice. Heli recce this morning revealed few options to our south, however we'll probably have another look that way this afternoon to see if there's any change. Otherwise we have options to our NW, then west, before heading south again. Had a frustrating evening, being blocked to the south in poor visibility. At least we can see today..
