Comments

We came close to completing all RTA cargo yesterday, but still had a few more lifts to do this morning to finish the job. This we have now done, with the exception of some cold weather clothing, which people are still wearing, and the people in said clothing, some of whom will join the ship this evening. Primary and secondary role "handovers" are proceeding well on Station. Last night half the ship's crew and half of our "round-trip" passengers enjoyed an eco tour to nearby Gardner Island, home to an Adelie penguin colony. The weather was perfect: hardly a breath of wind and beautiful light. The Davis guides have received a 5 star + rating from the tourists. Needless to say the remaining half crew and RT passengers are looking forward to their tour this afternoon!
Regards, Doug & Misty
