Cargo operations have progressed in the last 24 hours. The old excavator was delivered to the ship late yesterday and it is now securely stored in the tween deck. This concludes the heavy lifts for this resupply and voyage. It is anticipated that all cargo operations will be completed by the end of today. Round trip projects on station are being finalised today.
Tomorrow morning it is planned to transfer the outgoing Mawson expeditioners to the ship. At this stage departure from Mawson is planned for pm tomorrow (Tuesday) if the winds are less than 15 knots.
At Mawson this evening the official (and traditional) handover of the keys to the station from the outgoing Station Leader to the Ingoing Station Leader will take place.
Cheers Tony and Simon
