Comments

We made good passage overnight and should arrive around 1400 today.

A last minute flurry of packing and cabin cleaning is underway.

A huge thanks to all the Aurora Australis crew; officers, engineers, IR's, catering staff and cadets. They have all done a fantastic job, regularly putting in extra time and effort to help us achieve our voyage objectives.

Thanks to, to the Bureau of Meteorology forecasters at Casey and Davis for their great forecasts. Again they have gone the extra mile to help us better achieve our objectives.

It's the people who make or break these complex operations, and we couldn't ask for a better bunch to go to sea or work with.

Cheers

Andy, Mike and all the scientists and support staff
