Comments

Good progress overnight and expect to arrive Davis later today. Numerous bergs yesterday and we passed a 45 Nm long berg this morning. We are in touch with Station leader Cookie, and hope to have Winterers ashore tonight and commence cargo in earnest on Saturday with a fair forecast. We had a final Operational Brief this morning and everyone is ready to start changeover and resupply. Regards, Don and Hully
