North Slope news: 15 Dec. 2008

Got a call from Cameron this morning. The lads will not be leaving for Iko Bay today. Overnight a serious wind came up, and it's now blowing steady at 30 mph, with gusts over 40 mph. Outside of Barrow the winds are probably worse, blowing steady at around 40 mph, with gust around 50 mph.

Cameron says that putting up a tent in the dark in those kinds of winds is foolishness.

Depending on conditions, they boys aim to head to Iko Bay tomorrow (16 December).
