Comments
We're currently in one of the heavier ice sections that I mentioned in yesterdays sitrep, which has slowed us down a bit. We made great progress yesterday. Tried to do an ice recon flight last evening, but were defeated by weather. No matter: we still made good progress overnight. We'll see how we go through this tough section, but we're anticipating arriving at Davis tomorrow. Regards from Doug and Nicky
