Comments

REMARKS: The last sortie from Casey was on deck by 1555 local
yesterday. The ship was made ready for sea and departed for Hobart
at 1745 local. The operation at Casey went very well with all tasks
accomplished. Many thanks to all involved for their work and best
wishes to Casey for a safe, productive and enjoyable winter. Since
leaving the ice edge we have made good progress northwards. Our
initial Hobart ETA is a.m. on Friday, 14 March. Will provide a more
precise estimate on Sunday evening once we see how the first few days
of the voyage go. Our normal E-mail downloads are at: 1200, 1545 and
2200 Eastern Summer Time. Ship's clocks go ahead one hour tonight to
Eastern Summer Time minus two hours. Enjoy the weekend.

REGARDS
Martin and Chris
