Day 58 : 04 February 2011

Hello All

Yesterday afternoon we were still unable to do any cargo work due to strong easterly winds blowing all the ice debris onto the western ice shelf with the swell breaking rough against the shelf.

This morning the conditions were much improved and we made our way to the working area shortly after 4 to evaluate the suitability to work cargo. The swell was still running about 1.0-1.5m up the shelf and the ice debris has not moved from the shelf, but we were lucky to find a area clear of larger bergy bits and could get 6 lifts on before lunch.

Titan also flew their gear on and if the conditions remain we will do the heavy lifts this afternoon.

Have a good start to the weekend
