After an afternoon of intensive review of winds strength for any signs of a decreasing trend, we had to accept that the weather was behaving true to forecast and that we wouldn't get the conditions to put our teams out on the ice to conduct the tests required. With cool temperatures and a wind chill of nearly -25 degrees, those involved were happy to pass the afternoon inside. Today's weather brought a more definitive version of yesterday's and again ice tests looked doubtful. However, with some brainstorming and a bit of ingenuity, there may just be a way to get the data we need that will then allow us to perform the ship manoeuvring aspects of the trials (which can be done in any weather). Watch this space.
