Comments
Ship rolling overnight. A busy day so far - Killer whales and seals sighted by a lucky few this morning. Following this diversion we arrived offshore North head around 1100 in low visibility and strong Westerly Wind. Currently cruising East coast awaiting abatement before anchoring. Final fly off briefing conducted and discussions with personnel ashore. Hopefully we will be able to deploy station overnight group later today by helicopter, 1.5m onshore surf at station will likely preclude IRB ops for now....So its hurry up and wait.....
