Days 111 - 113

  the purple line is the coast we drew on at first call, the grey bit is where the ECDIS thinks the coast is

  Grease ice

  Pancake ice

  more pancake ice

  Halley is just around the corner

  A vertical mooring into the ice

  

  Sea Smoke, its a type of fog but the complete opposite. Fog forms by warm, moist air being cooled by the sea. Sea smoke forms by relatively warm moist air coming off the sea and being cooled by the much colder air.

Arrival at Halley was good, we got in a day before the itinery. All the moorings that we had left first call were usable so we did not have to do too much digging.

The cargo work has been going well, busy couple of days. Only a few more vehicles to load and we should be done

Today (Thursday) was pretty chilly -17°C all day with a howling wind.
