Comments

Resupply is an enterprise achieved in barge runs. Each departure of the barge from the ship to station and back again is a small step towards our goal. It's not something that occurs at a great pace, more a steady and determined back and forth. We remind ourselves of this as we wake, on the first day of the new year, to again a harbor filled with ice. Another day when the barges will not move between the ship and the shore. A time to be grateful for the small, yet not insignificant cargo runs that we achieved in opportunistic conditions yesterday.

Happy New Year to our families and friends far and wide. A quiet celebration on board the Happy Dragon, with only a few "daring" individuals managing to stay awake to see in the new year.


REGARDS: Anthea and Misty.
