No update from the team this morning- they left McMurdo yesterday for their overnight shakedown/survival school trip. Usually they get back in mid-day on Sunday (their time) which corresponds to late evening Saturday continental US time. They’ll be excited but also hungry and tired and have chores to do, so stay tuned…..
