Comments
We have again made good progress in the last 24 hours although still encountering some heavy ice conditions. We are moving in a north easterly direction in order to clear the ice as quickly as possible. We hope to be free of the ice within the next 24 hours.
Spirits have been raised with the marked improvement in our situation and everyone is looking forward to the rough and tumble of open water and then home.
Cheers Tony and Mike
