Hi Craig!

There's a million questions for you as you get started, all of which I'm sure will be answered in your journal!  We can't wait to hear from you!!!

Although inquiring minds want to know right away.... How are the seas?  And more important, how are you doing on the sea?!

hope all is well & good luck out there!

The seas have been relatively calm so far. I am still in Dutch Harbor waiting for the Healy!  We expect to depart early in the morning on Thurs. The sea ice is about a day out from Dutch Harbor, so hopefully the seas are not too rough. The forecast does call for high winds and blizzard conditions so it will be interesting!
