Comments

One week at Casey. The ship was cleared of all inbound cargo yesterday. We’re now loading RTA items such as rubbish and retired plant and equipment. The weather coordinators continue with their excellent work for us, with another day of little or no wind. The ship’s crew, the barge operators, and the Casey crew have been doing a great job getting gear to and from the ship over the last week, and the end is now in sight. A few new faces onboard last night, looking exhausted after their long flight, and equally long bus trip from Wilkins. A sea journey is so much more relaxing :-)

T’was the night before Christmas... All onboard thinking of family and friends back home, and imagining what you’re up to this evening. Have a lovely night!

Regards, Doug, Aaron & Margaret
