Comments
This morning the wind had dropped slightly but the swell had increased. Even though the conditions were less than ideal the crew and watercraft personnel were able to launch the Larc successfully. Everyone involved did an excellent job during the launching of the Larc.
Once we had one Larc in the water we were able retrieve to other one from Macquarie Island. The passengers were then transferred from the Lastrolabe to the station.
We are currently in the process of sending cargo ashore and we hope to continue for the rest of the afternoon.
REGARDS: Simon and Aaron
