Comments

Greetings from the great Southern Lake: the furious 50's have been to anger management classes... Continuing to make excellent progress to Casey. We're aiming for a point north of Casey, prior to turning south and encountering a band of ice seen on the last decent satellite image we received. All on board are travelling pretty well, with field training, various presentations, and pre-arrival briefings keeping us busy. A 1980's theme Blue Light Disco was held last night, with the non-alcoholic rum essence in the punch taking its toll on a few people. All were home in bed nice and early after their mums and dads came and picked them up... REGARDS Doug & Rob
