Comments
All on board are happy, well and excited to be at Casey Station. We arrived on schedule at 0900 having encountered more sea ice and icebergs overnight than anticipated. This morning we deployed a beacon as an aid to DP. We got the IRB's and PTT in the water for initial familiarisation activities. We have a planning meeting with Casey Resupply Team scheduled for this arvo. We remain on track to commence hard cargo resupply ops on Saturday 23 Dec, and refuelling is tentatively scheduled to commence 27th Dec, weather holding.
Regards
Keith
