Comments

We celebrated 30 days since the ship pulled away from the wharf in Hobart and a great job done by all with a BBQ on the trawl deck.
Expeditioners and crew all mixed in to help. Today was spent catching up on the paperwork for our arrival. Ensuring the cargo manifests are correct and all of the cargo has necessary econ (electronic consignment) numbers and it's location on the ship is accurate. Also checking that the precious science samples have all the necessary AQUIS quarantine permits. Tomorrow we'll look through the manifest and radio logs at helicopter flights and hours used, cargo and passengers moved...

Never a dull moment!

Cheers
Andy, Margaret and Kate.
