Alas, it wasn&#8217;t to last as at 0400, at the end of Ivan&#8217;s watch, I came up to  see that we were in thick fog once again, the air temperature had dropped to  zero and that of the sea to one degree Celsius. What&#8217;s worse, the radar was  showing a large area of ice concentration right ahead of us. Soon we were  dodging small bits of ice, then larger ones, and finally mini-icebergs the  size of Aventura. Slowly the visibility improved, and we found it easier to  slalom between them, passing close to one with a bearded seal looking  quizzically at Ivan, and his much less impressive beard. As the sun came up,  it started burning off the fog and visibility became gradually better.  <\/p>\n<p>   With less ice to worry about, we prepared the second oceanographic buoy to  be launched, as requested by Meteo France, close to 61 degrees north and at  some distance off the West Greenland coast. Ivan suggested to dedicate his  silent cabin mate to his niece Nera and nephew Dan, and wrote their names on  the buoy. After all, it was they who inspired the Blue Planet Odyssey and  thus are the reason why we are here.  <\/p>\n<p>   Mission accomplished!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n<p> After days of fog and poor visibility, the sun came out late yesterday afternoon, the wind &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/2014\/06\/dodging-ice\/\">Read more<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":1999,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[80],"class_list":["post-10834","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-aventura","tag-bouees-derivantes","odd"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10834","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10834"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10834\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10834"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10834"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cornellsailing.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10834"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
