Hello All
We averaged a credible 10.9 knots at noon today, navigating in bergy waters with not very intense drift ice around. The visibility remained moderate to good, except for the odd snow squall, with perpetual daylight still experienced. Tonight however we might see dusk setting in at which point we would probably slow down for a couple of hours.
The weather forecasts for South Thule is not any better, which might force us to revisit the island on the way south again.
This morning we altered more to the north to avoid a "lip" of sea ice that has not melted completely yet. By this evening we might come around again to gather some westings towards South Thule.
We are hoping for good weather at South Georgia to allow us to transfer the required SAWS Buoys to the authorities there.
Have a good afternoon.
