Day 5

April 20:
Current position is 89° 20’183” North, 0° longitude (they are exactly at the Prime Meridian also known as the Greenwich Meridian).  They had an overall amazing travel day with unlimited blue skies and slight north winds.  They are currently drifting to the southwest.
They encountered several patches of open water and rubble zones in their first 4 hours of travel.  Then in the last 6 hours of their 10 hour travel day, they covered 8 nautical miles, finding beautiful pans of ice.  They thank everyone for all of the support from friends and family.
