The Gould Lays in Wait



Day 2 and still no progress on our current situation. The ice has thickened, the long line is still laughing at us from the bottom of the sea, and the Gould is currently in a hold position. To make matters worse, a storm has blown in, bringing with it 30 knot winds and dumping enough snow to cause high snow drifts burying walkways and equipment (including one of our ATV's). Some great minds are batting around ideas to get us out of this pickle, but at this point, the best option may be to wait it out.

On our end, there are people at Palmer wanting to get on the Gould and there are people on the Gould wanting to get to Palmer. We are out of freshies and almost out of milk (eek!). I'm pretty sure there's an avocado over there with my name on it and maybe even a letter from Grandma. I think the only logical thing to do is to call Superman. He would be able to help us in any number of ways. Stay tuned for more updates...
