Latest ice reports

Latest ice reports

Ice pretty prevalent but clearing steadily - resolute and sound to the south currently blocked but improving.

Also the rib hit a rock today approaching harbour and they have damaged a leg and propeller which has now been replaced and they are on their way again. But in the words of Eddie Izzard when a stone chipped his sportscar paintwork: "there goes another 5k!"

arrggh! Am getting to the stage where I cant afford to do expeditions!!

Anyway, all else good though! 

Bear and team

    Bear, my children, my wife, and I are all praying for you and the men on this trip. I know it must be cold there, but hey it could be worse, it's around 105F here in Arlington Texas. God be with you, good luck, stay safe. P.S. My 5 year old would like to know why you drank water from elephant poo. That's a quote. As I'm at a loss for words, I figured I'd just throw that out there for a response as you are dodging icebergs... :)
