Comments

In difficult conditions yesterday afternoon we flew off some cargo before the wind and swell made it impractical to find a spot that suited both the ship and helicopters. Instead the ship found a protected area and stacked cargo on the deck ready for better conditions. After another night of steaming up and down the east coast we were in Buckles Bay early and started flying off cargo to the station with one helicopter. At the same time the second helicopter commenced work down the island supporting science projects and retrieving bundles of Marine Debris that have been collected at locations around the island over the winter. We are now in Sandy Bay stacking the deck with cargo again and will soon return to Buckles Bay to have it flown off. "Vsekh blag do zavtra" Robb and Andy.
