After a successful day yesterday the Ship conducted a grid of bathymetric survey points last night for Brolsma project.(The 17 remaining passengers enjoyed the opportunity to be rolling about again...). Today a Southerly swell and wind have hampered efforts to commence refueling the station. Conditions unsuitable for LARC operations due to swell at ship. IRB's did a sterling job in rough surf in moving anchors, but refueling had to be abandoned for the day late morning with no improvement in conditions. Meanwhile cargo efforts today have concentrated upon moving loads aft for a cargo fly off of priority loads which is due to start now. Helicopters have been busy supporting round trip field programs including GG helicopter over flights, deployment of nine Eradication program personnel to BB for a day walk, and Boardwalk engineer to Brothers point. Mt Jeffries repeater replacement dropped off. Field hut groups presumably busy expanding the bounds of knowledge from all 5 field huts with good field conditions today. Weather forecast for 50-60 knots not promising for ops tomorrow, as we continue to enjoy the full range of conditions on offer at Macca. Regards Don and Brett
