Daily Log - April 27, 1998

Webmaster's note: A call from Adlair informed us that the team is still "socked in" with the bad weather. Apparently they had called Adlair earlier today and spoken to them for about 30 seconds - just long enough to inform Adlair that the conditions are still bad. They thought the weather seemed to be lifting somewhat. The team members are warm and fed and safe, and still sleeping in the igloo. They will no doubt come home with a better sense of the conditions the Franklin crew endured!

The reason that the call was so short is that they need to conserve the battery for the satellite phone in case of emergencies. They have a solar charger, but without sunlight there is no way to recharge the battery.

They have now missed their scheduled flights home. We are hoping for the weather to break tomorrow so they can be picked up - or at least for sunlight so we can get a full report!
