Hi George, thanks for the post, your third winter was the stuff of legend while I was on Signy (winters '85 and '86) and the prospect of an enforced winter was much discussed, with a great sea-ice year being the compensation as you said.
The year after I left however, winter '87 was almost as good and most of the base got down to the divide without an enforced winter, I even seem to remember there may have been some degree of sea-ice relief at first call posible.
