Comments

A good morning of cargo ops. We've managed to clear all of the cargo off the hatch lids on No. 2 hold, and we'll get cracking on the containers in No. 2 hold after lunch. We are hoping that we will have the majority of the cargo in No. 2 hold discharged by the time we knock off this evening, but we'll see how that goes. We've also managed to get ashore Jacinta and Jasmine, the two Case Quadtrac tractors for Wilkins, which looked very impressive floating across Newcombe Bay together on the unifloats. The fresh and frozen food containers for Casey have also been discharged. We'll be taking a few of the Russian crew into Casey tonight for some dinner and a look around station. Everyone busy but doing well. Best regards, Micky & Deepy
