Comments

We are now heading back to Mawson to drop off the sonde activator. We hope to arrive tomorrow morning and transfer the well packed and waterproofed package ashore. We will then turn round and head for Davis.

Mawson expeditioners are now settled in and relaxing into ship life.

Cheers

Andy and Misty
