Comments
The A (Antarctic) factor really kicked in yesterday afternoon and stopped us from recommencing cargo operations. The amount of ice that flowed through Prydz Bay consolidated around the wharf to stop our watercraft from reaching it. Our barge struggled to move through the ice and the workboat attached to the pontoon was only slightly more successful. Unfortunately it was not possible to continue so we put all of the watercraft back onto the ship other than one workboat and the barge which we used to pick up our expeditioners who spent the day at Davis.
Cheers
Leanne and Jacob
