| A huge storm blew in with hurricane force gusts. Much of the ice was pushed out clearing the way for boating. |
 |
| It had been five weeks since a boat was out. |
 |

 |
| Thanks Doc. |

 |
| Every 30 minutes we call Palmer Station for a safety check to let the station know we are okay. |

 |
| Returning to station was very tedious as we worked our way around the ice. Mt. Moberly to the left. |
 |
| We worked the boat through small cracks by pushing the ice out of the way. |
