After drifting off to sleep we would wake in the small hours and look out over a vast tumultuous sheet of ice. Unfortunately it wasn't long before we came across open ocean, surprised at what good time we had made.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&#038;blog=2000120&#038;post=2209&#038;subd=talkingbollocks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We hear that the Igarka has now left Cape Town and that there was some concern over the lashing of the cargo with a separate stevedore team having to be employed to check the loads for insurance purposes. The cargo is predominantly GRP cladding panels which, while not heavy, are very large and potentially fragile if stressed in the wrong direction.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=talkingbollocks.net&#038;blog=2000120&#038;post=1732&#038;subd=talkingbollocks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

They vary in size from 300mm to 600mm and some seem to have been left to perish.
