Comments
After yesterdays remarks about warmer water and no bergs, the first iceberg promptly appeared on our southern horizon, 26 nautical miles away, but visible. So that was a bit of excitement for us! Conditions continued to be delightful for the evening, and have only started to deteriorate since this morning, with increasing winds and rising seas slowing our progress. Otherwise... You guessed it: more field training. Plus, the beginnings of our pre-arrival-at-Casey briefings. REGARDS Doug and Nicki
