Comments

What a day! Despite the bleak Antarctic conditions of gusty winds and overcast skies yesterday, it didn't stop our hearty barge crew and seasoned Mawson winterers braving the biting cold and putting in the hard yards to discharge 37 loads of cargo. Credit to the crew of the Happy Dragon as well who have pushed through the challenges to keep operations rolling. Today is a gloriously sunny but windy Mawson morning as we get back to work, keeping us warm today will be the freshly baked cookies from watercraft operator Pete who has been staying ashore and helping the chef when not driving boats, an essential skill for all mariners.


REGARDS: Dave & Jacob
