Heading north from Rothera, back up through Lemaire channel and Neumayer, ETA Stanley Tuesday night. Then on Sunday night we learn from HMS Protector there is a Brazilian navy ice ship stuck in the ice, 70miles from our location. We altered course and started to make our way towards the vessel. Conditions were not particularly great, F9 on the starboard bow causing a lot of sea spray that froze in mid air before accumulating on the bridge windows and f’c’sle. Having reached her on Sunday night we escorted her back through the ice and into open water, now we are back on track to Stanley ETA Thursday morning.
