Comments
Sea conditions remain quite reasonable, but are deteriorating. The low pressure system has opened up slightly and delayed our encounter with the expected rough weather for 24 hours. Plans are being formulated for a revised and significantly shorter stay at Davis, with our ETA expected to be sometime after midday on the 8th and hopefully a departure on the 9th. Ice imagery now being forwarded to ship. Special occasion pizza night enjoyed by Expos and Crew. Other Op's normal, all well.
