This morning there was sheet ice where the puddles were yesterday after a chilly night. Between repairs on our tents I did four trips out to a krill boat and reefer vessels with the government officer Robert and Andy Black. Sam went on as witness in the morning to the Korean krill vessel.<\/p>\n

\nWhen this tent was in strong winds the tent poles broke and punctured the pole ”channels”. So today I stitched them all up practicing my suturing knot tying technique from Doc School. <\/p>\n
