Comments
Quiet day on board for most of the expeditioners as we remained out to sea to avoid the extremely strong winds that Casey was experiencing. The forecast indicates that the winds will remain high at Casey tomorrow; we will continue to monitor the weather to determine when we will return to continue with the resupply. There has been plenty of wildlife to watch and photograph again, especially the birds having fun playing in the strong winds. REGARDS: Sharon, Fred and Jill
