Comments

We woke to beautiful conditions this morning so we made our way into the bay and anchored in preparation to commence resupply. The current Casey Station Leader came out to the ship by IRB to welcome everyone to Casey and run through some station procedures before they made their way ashore by barge. As the station is very busy at the moment, only 18 of our 53 passengers moved ashore today, everyone else will remain on the ship with day visits to station until rooms become available. After the two passenger transfers by barge were complete, cargo operations commenced and continued until 2000.

REGARDS: Sharon, Fred and Jill
