Comments

Work in Atlas Cove went well yesterday with science and operational tasks completed by early afternoon. All rubbish was loaded onto the ship and the Atlas Camp huts cleaned up. We met with the crew of the yacht "Glory of the Sea" during the morning to discuss their intentions. Sailed from Atlas Cove at 1700 and we are making good progress towards Fremantle. A fantastic effort by all aboard, in particular the crew of the Southern Supporter, over the last 4 days has completed the expedition's operations at Heard Island. All are well and enjoying fresh food and showers. Regards Robb and the team
