Comments

All RTA cargo completed yesterday after a dream run here at Davis, the Riviera of the South. With the main job done, 22 of those left on the ship took the opportunity for an evening guided walk to nearby Anchorage Island which was, reportedly, very enjoyable. Today, the crew has been making the ship ready for sea. Our remaining summering expeditioners left the ship this morning. Luggage from the returning winterers has been delivered to the ship, and we're expecting some new (old?) guests to arrive with us later this afternoon. We plan on cracking our way out of here from 1900 this evening.
Regards, Doug & Andrew
