Day 16 : 24 December 2010

Hello All

One leg of this voyage has been completed when all the cargo went ashore at Nuemayer through the day yesterday. We came off the shelf shortly after nine last night and had about 2 hours of thick sea ice to negotiate before finally reaching open water for our passage to RSA Bukta.

On arrival here today we were met by completely overcast conditions with very poor contrast and definition, which is not at all what the helicopter pilots were hoping for. For now we will just have to wait and see when the conditions will be flyable, but the forecasts are not looking to good for the next couple of days. I believe we will all spend our Christmas onboard together....the more the merrier.

We wish you a splendid evening.
