Comments
Another beautiful day today. Cargo operations re-commenced and refuelling is now underway. We farewelled 4 expeditioners to Mawson and welcomed two Mawson winter expeditioners who will return with us to Hobart. The ship is decidedly empty now with most expeditioners working and sleeping on station. After 3.5 weeks at sea, everyone is enjoying getting stuck into work, stretching their legs, and contributing to the resupply operation.
REGARDS: Karin, Sharon & Lance
