Comments
Currently undertaking cargo operations at Davis.
The weather forecast for tomorrow is for strong winds that will make it
impossible to operate the barge. We are therefore trying to do as much
as we can today so we can leave the anchorage before conditions and
darkness encroach. We will then head directly for the ice edge off
Mawson Station.
Our thoughts go out to all the Kiwis at home and around the world.
Cheers
Andy, Margaret, Kate.
