Always summer, never warm.
This is the mantra painted in the Coast Guard's
Polar Sea Icebreaker. While enjoying warm summers up north I've chosen a second chilly summer in McMurdo Station, Antarctica.

vessel is here

The vessel resupply ship arrived yesterday. There are 636 pieces to be unloaded and 550 retro containers will head back to the States next week.

It's strange seeing such a large ship at our pier. It's great to have all the personnel who have come in especially for this ship working rather than sitting around tying up our computer kiosk and leaving a mess in our lounge.

Along with the vessel comes weather. It never fails, when the ship makes it into town, the weather gets cold, windy, and white. It snowed last night. It's beginning to feel a lot like Antarctica down here again!
