PROGRESS REPORT NO 8 August 28th. Into the Kara Sea

We're lashin' down the Kara Sea.

Yesterday sfternoon , as we went 'sightseeing' in our Bay, a call came fro the icebreaker 'Vaigach'---"Let's Go!

There's a convoy being assembled"

Three hours later, we were back at Cape Chelyskin, last in line of a convoy led by I/B 'Vaigach', to break and push the ice, followed by I/B 'Soviet Soyuski with her beam air jets pushing out the ice to form a channel. Two nuclear icebreakers!

At one stage we passed a mammy bear an her two cubs jumping around on the ice, as we passed.

We're through the ice now and goin' gallant for Dickson.
