Comments

Our third and busiest day of the voyage! The Aiviq has arrived to help out and this morning we transferred some of the outgoing Mawson team ashore to Davis to lend a hand. Many of them were also here on their way to Mawson over a year ago to help resupply from the MPV Everest, so when it comes to over water resupplies at Davis, they're all over it. With calm winds this afternoon we plan on doing some roll-on/roll-off heavy cargo which includes a new crane and truck for the station. All going well, by tomorrow we might be finished and on our way north, leaving the Davis team in peace and quiet for their winter ahead.



REGARDS: Dave & Jacob
