Comments
The steady back and forth of barges. Consistent, smooth, reliable. It's easy to forgot that for the majority of those involved in the resupply operation, both at the station and on the ship, this is their first time, both in Antarctica, and tackling the nuances of a Casey resupply. A years' worth of food, along with various mechanical spare parts and equipment made up some of the many loads sent to ashore. Station very pleased to receive some fresh food and bolster their dwindling supplies.
REGARDS: Anthea and Misty.
