Comments

Many thanks to the crew of the ship and all at Mac 4 and Kingston for our smooth departure yesterday. Calm conditions thus far have meant good progress overnight with only the occasional gentle roll. The ship is a hive of activity with briefings and preparations for our operations at Macca. Onboard we have a diverse team including wintering expeditioners who will spend the next year on the Island, a team undertaking a rabbit, rat and mouse eradication project, various science projects, an ABC film crew and a number of support people for refuelling and other logistic activities. We are looking forward to a busy and productive time.

REGARDS: Robb, Leanne and Martin
