Comments

Travelling Nnw, Sea ice a little thicker overnight which has slowed progress slightly. We do not expect to reach Davis before Friday. Various briefings underway on resupply and station operations. Scavenging of materials underway to manufacture horse suits and fashions before Tuesdays Melb Cup special event. All well. Clock went back an additional hour, so we are now on Davis time. Regards, Don and Hully
