Comments
A 2m NE swell came up under the ice last night and we started rolling again - stabilisers were turned back on. Looked quite spectacular this morning watching a long swell rolling under a cover of ice floes. Ship has turned more to the south and making fair progress. Davis could be Friday or Saturday - unknown until we see the ice closer to Davis. All well on board, field training and operational meetings continue apace. Bets are in on our Melbourne cup sweep and looking forward to Special Occasion # 2 tonight with a Melbourne cup theme. Regards, Don and Hully
