Comments

We sat out the day in the fast ice whilst the wind and snow whistled past. Most folks used the storm as a chance to catch up on some rest before we get back into the last two busy days of fly off operations.

Pizza and a beer for dinner were reward for the great efforts everyone has put in to the operation so far.

Cheers

Andy, Margaret and Kate.
