Comments
A bit more pitching and rolling today than what we have become accustomed to, which should keep the folks who want some “bow splash” photos happy. CPR in, and out again for the last tow before we encounter our first sea-ice, sometime tomorrow we suspect. Field training continues, and all onboard have a date with some pretty powerful cleaning solution to wash any gear going ashore at Davis that has been used back home in Australia. Note the sea temperature: getting cold outside now!
All the best, Doug and Dave
