Comments
We celebrated a successful visit to Davis with a BBQ and drinks on the trawl deck. Spirits were high as we sailed through Prydz Bay with giant petrels, the occasional whale and icebergs all around.
Our clocks went back another hour overnight and we have one last clock change tonight to bring us to Mawson time of UTC +5.
Mawson is quite a different kettle of fish to Davis station so the day was spent meeting to discuss different mooring and resupply options.
Refuel briefings were also held for expeditioners and crew.
Cheers
Andy and Misty
