Comments

The fine weather continues. We have spent the day performing multiple
briefings and planning sessions. Topics covered include the helicopter
awareness video and job safety analysis followed by a tour and walk
round of the helicopters, a briefing by the Watercraft Coordinator about
inflatable rubber boat transfers to and from the ship, discussion
amongst the watercraft operators to review their safety analysis and
discuss operating in darkness, a cargo planning and safety meeting and a
briefing to discuss the departure and arrival process to and from the
ship including a tour of the bunker door. We are all excited about our
arrival at Macquarie Island tomorrow.

Cheers

Andy and Graeme
