Comments
Excitement is growing. It is starting to become real. We are nearly there. The Arrival Briefing was held last night providing information on preparing for our arrival at Mawson tomorrow morning; cleaning cabins, packing bags, returning borrowed equipment, what to take with you on the barge when transferring to station etc. Today will be the Passenger Transfer briefing: what to wear on the barge, turning tags to indicate that you have left the ship and moved to Mawson, fitting of life jackets, the process for boarding the barge etc.
Cheers
Leanne & Matt
