Comments
The good weather held allowing us to commence refuelling last night. Refuelling Casey station takes around 30 hours to complete, so the previous days have been spent checking the weather looking for that perfect weather window for pumping fuel. We have been lucky with the conditions as at times the sea has been like glass. Cargo operations have continued simultaneously to make the most of this superb Antarctic weather.
REGARDS: Sharon, Fred and Kerry
