Comments
We have had the ship in a holding position for the last 30 hours due to heavy ice conditions. Poor satellite imagery due to cloud cover is preventing us from going any further at this stage. The use of ice recce’s with helicopters not available to us as the helicopters remained at Davis.
We will await improving ice conditions or clearer satellite imagery before proceeding.
Whilst we are experiencing delays all on board are in good health and spirits.
Cheers Tony and Mike
