26/11-14

Position: 88° 40.8' N, 63° 31' W, temperature - 18° C, air pressure 995 hPa, wind 28 knots from ESE. Ice drift 0.3 knots towards west. The strong wind with gust up to 40 knots had created snow drifts around the hovercraft and filled the lift fan intake completely. Dismantled the work space around the abandoned hydro hole and moved the materials to the temporary storage area. Mobilized the hovercraft to move to a better site, but could not achieve sufficient rpm's. Need advice to tackle the problem.
