Comments
This morning, we find ourselves off west arm at Mawson station. After slowing down for a few days while we did the krill box (survey), deck operations came to a complete end at 8pm last night in order to give both expeditioners and crew a chance to fully transition to daylight hours for resupply. We have spent the last few hours waiting for the wind to drop sufficiently to permit the mooring operation to start and as of 10:30am, this appears to be happening.
We'll keep you posted.
