The remainder of Spit Bay cargo was retrieved by 1200 yesterday. The fur seal program also managed to get ashore and retrieve their last satellite tag from a female fur seal. We then steamed to Atlas Roads and retrieved the Jacka Valley camp with all cargo and expeditioners aboard by 1700. Operations then ceased due to weather conditions. All 28 expeditioners have now been retrieved. Last night at 2345 we made contact with the 50ft yacht "Glory of the Sea" as it sailed into Corinthian Bay with three on board. We expect to talk with them again this morning about their intentions. This morning we have deployed one LARC to Atlas Cove to deliver science program workers to undertake kelp collection and penguin work and other expeditioners to commence retrieving rubbish and Geoscience Australia equipment. One zodiac is taking scientists to Mt Aubert De La Rue for geology collections, pumice collection and terrestrial ecology AWS retrieval. Regards Robb and the team
