Comments
Another lumpy evening, but today hasn't been too bad at all, with conditions easing throughout the day. Stronger winds from the NW forecast for tomorrow, so that may rock the boat a bit. Field training commenced with an "all you ever needed to know" lecture about sea ice travel. The odometer ticked over 700 nautical miles today, so we're getting there.
Regards, Doug & Misty
