Comments
Fuel transfer successful yesterday evening and night in an incident-free operation; 127,880 litres of SAB and 100,000 litres of MDO loaded by 1 AM this morning. Many thanks to Station personnel and to Polar Bird for facilitating this operation. Currently waiting for wind to drop so that we can vacate the harbour allowing Polar Bird to leave. Intend to commence acoustic calibration in harbour as soon as possible then back to krill work with oceanography to follow.
