Well said and agreed. Knowing the crew as I did and the Captain, I am certain this is a very difficult journey for them...but one they felt they wanted and needed to do for their fallen Captain and crew mates. I do believe just from a logistics standpoint and knowing the rotation of the crew, that they very likely did a crew change in Resolute. A bit more difficult than it was in YEV to move everyone, but Borek & maybe First Air or Cdn North would have got it done.frozen solid wrote:I can't imagine what it must feel like for her crew, having that thing sitting on the helipad. I wonder that they didn't have the other ship do the recovery. I would find it difficult to do my job under those circumstances. Hopefully they changed the crew while she was at Resolute. My feelings are with the crew of the Amundsen. Horrible to lose a crewmate; even worse when it's the Captain.
Tragic accident and my most sincere condolences to the 3 people lost, their families & friends...and of course the entire crew of the Amundsen. They are a tight knit group who spends months at sea together in the most challenging conditions in the world. They cant help but become family in that situation.
