Cargo operations continue here at the Riviera of the South. Yesterday afternoon we had the fuel line out of the hold by 1600, however set-up took much longer than expected due to a number of leaks being detected during air pressure testing. Then a false start at 0055 this morning, when ice was encountered in the line. Fuel pumping finally commenced at 0140, and has been going really well since. We anticipate finishing pumping operations by 1600 this afternoon. We hope to start loading water into Davis this afternoon too. Meanwhile, cargo operations have been continuing, and we're currently into the lower hold, and not far off starting back loading RTA cargo. Everyone is doing a fantastic job, and everything is going well, except for the weather, which started off gloriously, but has deteriorated into a gloomy day. Regards from Doug and Nicky
