Comments

Another full day of helicopter operations with transfer and return of all round trip personnel and extension of handover time made possible due to improved weather forecast. Mawson inbound cargo transfer continued and survey work at Colbeck was completed. First winterers returned to the ship last night to enjoy long showers and fresh food. 16 passengers transferred to ship this morning. All Mawson inbound cargo completed. Departing for Davis Fly Off at approximately midday ship time. Deputy Voyage Leader departed the ship for her summer position at Mawson. Thanks and good luck to Nicki. Regards Jane
