Comments
Southern Supporter arrived at Heard Island at 1545 local time yesterday. First LARC ashore at 1620 and expeditioners and cargo were transferred to the ship. LARC 1 became unserviceable after the first lift so LARC 2 was put in the water and completed a second lift of expeditioners and cargo. All Spit Bay and Brown Glacier expeditioners onboard by 1900. Commencing further cargo operations with 1 LARC this morning at Spit Bay and hope to have second LARC repaired and in service later today. Regards Robb and the team
