Comments
We positioned the ship at Hurd Point at the southern end of Macquarie Island for sunrise this morning. By holding position here, we have been able to fly a team ashore and begin discharging the 100 pods and 78 drums of fuel to be located at Hurd Point for the Macquarie Island Pest Eradication Project (MIPEP). We plan to stay here until the end of the day and expect to get most of the pods and all of the fuel ashore. The weather is unusually calm and still.
Cheers
Andy and Graeme
