Comments
We had a fantastic day at Davis yesterday, completing all cargo and passenger operations, including packing up the last of the helicopters, by 2000 hrs local time. A great outcome, thanks to a willing group of workers on the ship, ashore, and in the air. We're currently following the same track out as we came in to Davis on the day before yesterday, and making good progress. The ship's ranks have been swelled enormously, with our new complement of returning summering and wintering expeditioners.
