Comments

Arrived at Casey Anchorage at 1602hrs local time yesterday. Discharged all cargo (involving 26 helicopter flights) by 1823hrs. This reflects the outstanding efforts of the pilots and expeditioners both afloat and ashore, and especially Leanne's organisation skills in the management of cargo operations. Expeditioner disembarkation at 0905 hrs this morning following a shipboard brief by Station Leader Casey. A visit to the Casey medical facility was arranged for the CHINARE doctor aboard. This was very successful. Undertook one local flying task. Vessel departed Casey at 1202 local. All well, back on schedule! REGARDS J&L
