Hi All,

This morning at 0745 we arrived at the anchorage off Casey Station and immediately began discharging cargo ashore. The intention was to commence refueling this evening, but several minor factors have conspired to make this unlikely. Accordingly we will most likely continue discharging cargo until around 7.30pm this evening and have another go tomorrow. All of the ingoing Casey personnel have moved ashore and are settling into their new homes ashore. Several of the departing Casey people have in their turn moved aboard and are also preparing for their voyage home to Australia.

The weather continues to be very benign with a good forecast in hand through until at least Saturday, the delay in refueling is not a problem.

Until tomorrow,


REGARD: Chris, Leanne, and the V2 Team
