Comments
Choppers couldn't make it out to us yesterday due to too much open water. Continued on our way, and had a great run overnight, making nearly 14 knots in very new ice. Have just commenced cargo and passenger transfers to the ship. Elected to anchor 3.8 nm from station, rather than at the usual anchorage to help speed things up. Hoping for a good day.
