Comments

Arrived Davis at 13:00. Transferred 26 pax from Davis to AA and 17 pax ashore for the night. The LARC was deployed, tested and used to bring a -80 freezer on board. about half the cargo in the heli hanger was discharged. To take advantage of the opportunity to return direct to Hobart, a fair amount of the Macca cargo was moved and restowed to make room for additional Davis cargo. Containers and reefers of cargo were floated out to the ship on a Uni-float barge pulled by the Pagodroma and then stowed on the front hatch covers. We are about to up anchor and head out to sea for the night. The plan is to drop anchor at 08:00 ready for the first loads alongside and overhead at 08:30.

Andy, Mick (Karen is ashore tonight).
