Comments
Cargo operations are like test cricket. Both involve a small number of people doing skilled work requiring total concentration, both go over several days and both keep the spectators hanging on the outcome right to the end. This afternoon the station handover will occur and the outgoing expeditioners will come onto the ship but cargo operations are likely to continue after that and possibly into Saturday morning. It will take some hours to lash the deck cargo down before we can depart. We have been blessed with good weather, today is another sunny day with slight winds.
