Comments

A day of healing for most trying to catch up on a bit of rest and sleep before Act 3 in this three part drama called Resupply. Sighted another vessel at 1100hrs local, after a short question and answer session we cruised on. Meetings will be held this afternoon with ships crew and AAD personnel to discuss Ops @ Mawson. Estimate arrival at Mawson now 1800UTC or 0600 hrs (Mawson) 18th Feb 2009. The 6am start has brought on groans of protest from those on board who had planned to have longer to rest between stations - 36 hours for transit between Davis and Mawson is surely a record? Cheers, Micky & Deepy
