Launching in North Cove
Rothera Dive team (-Terri) on brash ice – myself, JJ and Mel
Several times this month with the crane has been in service or needed somewhere else on Base so we have had to launch the boats in North Cove for diving. The problem is that if the tide is falling the brash ice gets left on the beach and our trailers can’t get over the ice. We were moving it away by hand but seeing as it was taking too long I decided to call in the heavy machinery! It comes to something when you need a JCB to get you out diving.
