Comments
For a while yesterday we were moving swiftly, however we have encountered a number of pinch points between ice floes which have significantly slowed us down. One pinch point alone took 11 hours to break through. Nonetheless we have steamed 30 miles north and west. We are making progress!
Spirits remain high and packing for sea continues. Joe (the good looking chap in all the photos!) our senior IR and Bosun won the Melbourne Cup sweep stake.
Cheers
Andy, Brett
