Comments

Good news today from our colleagues aboard the Aiviq at Mawson where ship>shore refuelling operations have been completed.

Aboard the RSV Nuyina, those on the overnight Aurora watch were rewarded for their 3am wake up call by a reportedly spectacular Aurora above the ship. As we maintain our Easterly passage just under 60 o, the crew continue to work diligently through their maintenance schedules whilst expeditioners are involved in a variety of station and voyage based preparatory briefings and trainings. This afternoon, those involved in operations at Davis undertook a debrief. A useful undertaking, the lessons learnt will be incorporated into our planning for operations at Macquarie Isl.

Regards,

James & Brendan
