Comments

After 12 work days we have completed the dry cargo resupply of Casey. The last item was loaded to the ship at 3.15 this afternoon. I thank all on the ship and station for their hard work in getting the task done safely.

We will remain at Casey until Saturday when we will head to Davis to conduct their dry resupply.

The chunk of ice we have all been waiting to break into the bay continues to be recalcitrant. It dropped some large pieces into the bay when we were not looking and the larger piece is now only half the size it was when we arrived. I expect we will leave Casey and it will still be holding on.


Cheers
Leanne and Jacob
