Comments

We have made good progress in the last 24 hours with the calm sea giving us another good night’s sleep. Planning for the Casey resupply is well underway, we need to be able to move seamlessly into the resupply operation once we reach Casey Station. Preparatory work for the marine science program has commenced so that after the Casey resupply we will be ready to move into the Marine Science phase of the voyage. Yesterday afternoon Chief Scientist on board Steve gave an overview of the Marine Science program and what its purpose is. It was of great interest especially to the operational team on board.

Cheers

Tony and Lloyd
