Someone asked the question why Davis, then Mawson, then back to Davis?
Our voyage plan is to visit Davis dropping off some cargo and importantly a refrigerated container. Whilst we are resupplying Mawson valuable and unique ice cores will be loaded into the container to be picked up on our return. We are also picking up a team of Navy hydrographers and a geoscience team both of whom have completed projects at Davis (I hope!) and now work to do at Mawson.
We had a planning meetings today to plan the meetings we need to have!
The Watercraft Team also had their first meeting.
The ships crew tested fire hoses and outlets with the Mawson Fire Team assisting and getting some first hand experience on shipboard fire fighting (and mopping skills!)
Tonight (actually early tomorrow morning) we will start to retard the clocks from Tasmanian time of UTC +11 to Davis time of UTC +7. 1 hour every second night from now on (16, 18, 20, 22 January).
Cheers
Andy and Misty
