Comments

Another busy day for cargo operations with RTA (Return to Australia) cargo loading now in full swing. We hope to finish RTA this evening which will leave only baggage and personnel transfers to complete. The last of the round trip programs are being tidied up this afternoon. Round trippers will transfer out to the ship tonight, with our returning Casey expeditioners joining us tomorrow morning after a few hours together to recover from our invasion. All things going well we should be ready to depart Newcomb Bay around lunch time tomorrow and head for Davis. Cheers, Nicki, Rob and Peter.
