Comments

Yesterday was amazebergs as we made our way past Scullin Monolith and the tip of Cape Darnley.

This morning the ship launched its Fast Response Craft (FRC) and combined a pick up of the essential equipment for transfer to Mawson, with a man overboard drill. Once completed we commenced our transit back to Mawson.

See you soon Mawson!

Cheers

Andy and Misty
