Operations commenced on ship at 0600 yesterday with Howard Burton in the water by 0820 and the two jet barges by 0900. Priority passengers and their cargo ashore around 1000. Cargo discharge continued throughout the day ceasing at 2115. All cargo other than food discharged by the end of operations. Backloading commenced this morning and continued until 1100 when wind speeds increased to 40 knots with blowing snow making visibility limited and sea conditions too rough for barge operations to continue.Operations currently suspended awaiting weather to improve. Hopeful conditions will improve and expect cargo operations to be completed today. All science and other projects commenced with good progress being made by most, however due to weather aerial photography and some survey work has not been possible at this time. Subject to better weather, which is forecast for later today and tomorrow, hopeful of departing late tomorrow evening.
