Comments
Departed Casey 7 pm local yesterday after medivac of injured expeditioner by helicopter. Snowing quite heavily and pack ice more compacted than on arrival. Into clear water by 4 am this morning, cruised east along shelf, outsmarted approx. 1000 krill then headed for MI 1230. Many thanks to Karen and Casey expeditioners for their hospitality and support for all station based programs and cargo; to AA Master and Crew for smooth and
professional operation and to Medicos (Casey, ship and AAD), FTO's, Pilots and Crew for efficient Medivac.
Regards Rob & Shane
