Comments
Given the heavy ice forming and drifting between the ship an shore we had a really productive day of watercraft operations.
Yesterday we transferred all of the non essential expeditioners back to the ship from Davis.
We awoke to strong winds this morning, too strong for boats but not so strong we couldn't fly a few sling loads to the ship, ensuring we have all of the priority cargo onboard.
We are now waiting for the wind to die down in the hope we can get a couple of final overwater cargo runs to the ship before we depart later this afternoon.
Cheers,
Andy and Simon
