Comments
Expeditioners aboard by midday, customs cleared, moorings dealt with, and everyone briefed to the hilt. Underway by 2040 hrs. Decision was made to head directly to Macca, based on approaching weather and expected swells at sediment trap mooring site 1 being unlikely to allow us to retrieve the gear. REGARDS Dug
