In last 24 hours, the sea conditions have moderated as we have got closer to the east coast of NZ and the 'rocking and rolling' has all but gone. This is our final day at sea and the final SITREP for the voyage. Today will be spent finalising our preparations for our arrival into Wellington tomorrow morning and will be a busy day unloading the ship. The Voyage Management Team (Sarah, Nick and myself) would like to take this opportunity to professionally and personally thank the Master (Andrew), the Officers and all the Crew aboard the RV Tangaroa for their support throughout the voyage.
Their flexibility and adaptability to the operational and scientific needs of the voyage, was a fundamental component to the success of this voyage.
Thank you. The total count of seabird species sighted for the voyage is now at 47, with a Black Fronted Tern being sighted this morning. Finally, to the readers of the daily SITREP, the voyage management team hopes that you have enjoyed tracking the progress of the voyage, its has been a privileged to be part of this voyage and undertaking research that will assist with the management and conservation of whales into the future. PS - a special thank you to Sarah for all her hard work prior, during and no doubt, post the voyage.
REGARDS:
Hully, Sarah and Nick
