Comments
Cargo operations commenced at 0920 and have continued in difficult weather conditions (gusty 20-30 knots with a max of 44 knots, showers, snow showers, snow, sleet and hail). All cargo now off the ship. RTA continues. Expect to complete cargo operations late tonight/early tomorrow. Changeover is planned for tomorrow morning. Stowing LARCs and helicopter will take some time so plan to depart early afternoon. It has been a most successful changeover and resupply and it is very pleasing to hear of the enormous amount of scientific work achieved.
