Comments

We enjoyed our first special occasion onboard last night, which was a BBQ on the trawl deck in near perfect weather conditions….sunny skies, beautiful sunset and light winds. Overnight however a blizzard hit us (as predicted) and we have been stopped in the ice waiting for the weather to improve since early this morning. Everyone onboard is safe and well.
