Comments
Disappointingly, another ice filled bay confronted us as we poured our morning coffees. However, the previous days have shown us, that with a little patience, the afternoon "should" bring more open water. So, we waited. And sure enough, with the help of some circle work by the Happy Dragon, early afternoon saw the barge weaving its way through the ice floes delivering some much-anticipated food supplies to station. All aboard and at station are pleased to again be underway with operations here at Casey. Long may they continue.
REGARDS: Anthea and Misty.
