Comments

Sunday's evening final of the ping pong was a cracker, with a close fought game of two very talented players. The rest of us that participated, had fun, and some were very good and others, like me, tried their best.
Weather remains a popular theme, it really feels and looks like a real Antarctic day. Blowing snow, gusty winds and a covering of white blanketing the ship. The day's promise of a small window of reasonable weather looks even smaller.
Those onboard remain busy planning for operations later in the week, watchkeeping or conducting important drills and maintenance. Tomorrow looks like a repeat and so we wait in anticipation for our next operational day at Mawson.

Regards, Chris & Andrew
