Comments
With two lifts of the ships crane remaining to complete the discharge of solid cargo, it's fair to say that resupply operations are going well. A flight to Mawson departed this morning, taking with it 5 Mawson bound expeditioners, further reducing the ship's complement. Sunshine threatens to break through the cloud for the first time since we arrived at Davis and perhaps even the winds will drop below 20 (37km) knots at some stage this afternoon.
