Hello All
During the course of the afternoon we came across bands of drift ice which was not easily sighted during times of poor visibility caused by fog. This made us decide to bring up the Iron Sampler before it gets knocked of the davit by a piece of ice.
Later, shortly after supper we reduced our speed due to the fog closing us in and with the winds still moderately NW, with a couple of white horses, radar detection became limited again.
We maintained a lower speed through the night, but at 06:30 this morning we rang end of ocean passage and start of ice passage with bands of thicker drift ice being encounter.
We are still quite a bit north of the ice pack, but we expect to enter it by later this afternoon.
