Comments
We remain in our present position awaiting a change in the pack ice condition. The change in wind direction happened overnight however the winds are of such low intensity that they have made no impact on the pack ice concentration.
Our plan at present is to continue to remain in this position awaiting more favourable conditions within the pack ice ahead of us. All on board remain optimistic in spite of the unchanging situation.
Cheers Tony and Mike
