Comments
We continue to make our way north through the pack-ice. Most expeditioners are enjoying the calm ride while it lasts, partaking of the gym, snatching those last ‘icy moment’ photographs, and even starting work on their season reports. We should be on the high seas tomorrow with the forecast for 2-3 m seas and 4-5 m swell. This will test everyone’s sea-legs once more. Meanwhile, we are enjoying the cheery company of the returning winter crew on board as they regale us with tales of their fantastic winter at Davis.
REGARDS: Karin, Sharon & Lance
