Comments

Departed Casey at 2030 local time yesterday having delivered all assigned cargo and loaded every item that the station was able to RTA. An excellent operation with people at the station, on water craft and at the ship doing a very professional job. Since departure have moved quickly north and earlier this morning the ship was able to transit the outer ice band quite quickly (what a difference a week makes down here!). Needless to say everybody on board had a very good sleep last night! ETA Davis now potentially p.m. Wednesday, 19 January (will up-date daily).

Regards Martin & Steve
