Comments
Progress has been relatively slow so we are now using the larger engine to make up some time. Field training activities started today for each of the station groups, together with numerous planning meetings for sea ice and aircraft operations that will be undertaken before our arrival at Casey. All onboard are well and have their sea legs now, judging by the strong turn out at each meal.
