TODAY'S SITREP REMARKS: By the end of yesterday we had put one helicopter safely in the hold and everyone had returned to the station from the field. Last night the station changeover ceremony was held where the outgoing winterers passed custodianship of the station and the island to the new wintering team. This morning we loaded all expeditioners bound for Hobart onto the ship by LARC and have just flown on the second helicopter. This afternoon we will lower it into the hold, load some final cargo with the LARC and then get the LARC on board. All going well we will depart for Hobart this evening."Vsekh blag do zavtra" Robb and Andy.
