Comments

All on board are happy and well. Day 2 COVID test results all clear. No COVID positive cases on board. Day 5 testing to come. The weather has again been very kind to us; a bit of wind but some sun as well. XBT deployed as per plan. Today we've completed our scheduled refuelling planning meeting with Ship's officers. The development of the resupply ops plan is ongoing, with the next planning meeting with Station scheduled for Monday morning. Ongoing planning for whale mooring recovery and deployment.

Today, with the assistance of Dr Jaimie Cleeland, we'll get a bit of citizen science bird observations going. ETA estimates remain unchanged. We will likely be at the whale mooring location on the morning of the 20th Dec. This gives us an ETA at Casey early afternoon of the 21st Dec.

Regards

Keith
