Comments

Continued to travel in calm seas through the outer pack ice and still making steady progress. In the penultimate phase of planning for the Davis operation. Fashions on the field function organised for tonight which promises to be interesting. All pax on board well and looking forward to reaching Davis and commencing their respective work programs. REGARDS Richard and Jenny
