Comments

Priority Expeditioners ashore yesterday afternoon; 503 drums ATK for PCMEGA transferred to GWAMM from Mawson, fantastic effort by Mawson crew and helicopter pilots and engineers. Whale obs last evening, no opportunity for biopsy presented. No luck with krill. Currently preparing to transfer second priority Expeditioners and Crew ashore for a few hours; cargo from Mawson then all passengers aboard by evening meal. Retrieve Dave McCormack from plateau. Chronometers synchronised for evening departure for Hobart.
