Comments

With grey skies and snow flurries, and refueling and cargo activities complete, resupply operations took a change of pace today. The ship, now quiet, after sending the last of the 30 Davis bound expeditioners ashore yesterday afternoon. Station side, it's a different story. Handovers between the incoming and outgoing teams are in full swing, ensuring that the newly arrived team has everything at hand before we depart. All going to plan, tomorrow we will complete the last of the ship-based operations, fresh water transfer. Topping up the station's tanks for the season ahead.

REGARDS: Anthea & Samantha
