Day 6 : 14 December 2010

Hello All

The cluster of icebergs we came across yesterday and last night led to us slowing down during the hours of darkness between 22:00 and 03:00 ships time. Visibility was also poor and mostly less than 1NM due to low cloud and fog.

Even with the slow down we managed a respectable 9.9 knots at noon with the Northerly winds pushing us along nicely this morning.

We altered course to due south when we reached the Greenwich Meridian shortly before breakfast and we intend staying on it until the sea ice force us into another direction.

Tonight we will bring the ships clocks to GMT.

Have a splendid day.
