Comments
Just launching helicopters to Davis as I write this, sending in the ship's Master to assess our possible parking position in the fast ice off station, as well as the all important mail. We had a fairly tough time last night, slowly working through some very heavy floes covered with a thick layer of snow. Broke into open water this morning, and are anticipating arriving at Davis later this afternoon. We hope to have the ship parked and stable tonight, ready to commence cargo operations tomorrow. Regards from Doug and Nicki
