Today I was slushy (Swapped with Terry) once again and let's hope it's the last time ever. I worked extremely hard all day including about three hours cleaning the bar fridge with bleach which had mould growing in it.

Life has become very routine lately with everybody doing all the last minute jobs and tidying everything up before we leave. Some guys are trying to squeeze as much field time in before we go and we are all in leaving mode. The ship is due on the 24th but we all think it won't be able to get through the sea ice and we have a mindset that it will have to come back for us in April. If it does get to us on the 24th I don't think any of us will be mentally ready, although we are all packed up ready to go at short notice.
