Comments
An excellent day of cargo yesterday, with all the cement going off in a well-choreographed dance of trucks, cranes, loaders, JCBs and people. Cargo continues today. Folks continue to trickle ashore to take up residence on Station, depleting the ship's complement and reducing meal queues to a fraction of their former 105-person length. The galley staff appear to be quite relaxed.
Regards, Doug & Andrew
