Ahoy landlubbers, today be International Talk Like a Pirate Day, and all the scallywags aboard be speaking like pirates. Aarrghhhh. The wind outside be howlin' and we be havin' s' much snow and wind to be unable to see the horizon. Ice Station 5 be complete, but the good ship Aurora be goin' nowhere til the wind stops howlin'. We be heading west in the morn to plunder more krill from the depths and lookin' fer new ice to get our 'ands on. Regards from yer swashbuckling voyage team, Tony, Dave and Petra.
