Comments

Casey fly off completed at midnight last night (ship time). In summary, 14 flights from approximately 50 nm fly off position delivered essential cargo and retrieved 23 expeditioners, personal gear and work cargo bound for Davis and Mawson. Oppurtunistic measurements of moss beds completed. Good progress being made towards Prydz Bay. Should be north of pack ice edge this afternoon. Regards Jane & Nicki
