The crew spent the morning working through the snow giving the boat a final clean in preparation for landing.
We carried out a CTD at the entrance to St Johns
At 15:00 our pilot boat arrived

It’s been a tough crossing and credit must be given to all the crew for making a safe passage across the North Atlantic and to the cooks for keeping us fed during the tough conditions.
I think we will be heading up the town for a well earned wander tonight!
