Hello All
It is in some way or another nice to feel the effect of the open ocean again with the vessel starting to roll and pitch more now that the weather has increased a bit. Luckily the weather is following at present pushing us along and the going is good.
The scientists are working day and night to capture their underway data with SAWS personnel deploying their weather buoys at the required intervals.
Our ETA for South Thule of the 5th is not very promising from a weather point of view and we are hoping that it would moderate enough to allow a safe landing there to change out the stationed weather buoy.
We are crossing bands of drift ice to the extend of having to recover the Iron Fish sampler but not quite having to slow down the vessel for it yet. At this point we are zig-zagging to avoid the drift ice. Tomorrow we are expecting more consolidated ice, but will have to wait and see.
Have a good day.
