Comments
Well it seems we were lucky to get out of Mawson when we did as the weather has taken a turn for the worse and we are in almost complete whiteout conditions today. Not many up and about choosing to have a lie in after an exhausting effort @ Mawson. Ship handling the conditions extremely well though and the skipper has decided to head east for a day or two to miss the worst of the low pressure system causing all the drama outside at the moment. Cheers, Micky & Deepy
