Comments

Continuing cargo operations, backloading RTA cargo as we go. Estimating all resupply cargo ashore by midday tomorrow, Wednesday 26 Dec. Estimating all RTA cargo aboard Aurora by end of Thursday 27 Dec if weather holds. Anticipating a departure on Friday 28 Dec, providing Law Dome program finishes on time. Forecasted 30 - 40 kt winds did not eventuate this morning. Re-established mooring lines to bollards on islands near the wharf to save having to lift the fuel barge and AA2 back on board Aurora at night (during bad weather).
