Well I came up on watch this morning at 0800. ice, ice and more b****t ice. I finished my watch and the ice cleared, came back up at 1700 UTC and guess what ! yep, ice, fog and our first snow. But the longitude ticking up, very nice when it clicked over130 on my watch . Interesting water temp, I think it must be the drainage from the river delta. lots more bird life here.

Glad to see you are making good progress mate, keep up the good work.
All the best,

Still, just over 40 degrees* of longitude to go and you all become 24 hours younger. (* Although it could be a bit more depending upon your latitude at the time.)
After all the recent back-tracking, I imagine that you’re all pleased to have clocked up 24 hours travelling due east.
We’ve done more in the last 3 days than the last 2 weeks!
Following your progress David and the team, absolutely amazing adventure. It looks like you will meet the challenge. Best wishes John
