Comments

Another busy day with lots of meetings and briefings to discuss the
various projects, cargo, helicopter operations and boat transfers.
Conditions at sea are very comfortable and as usual the food is
exceptional. Last nigh DVL Beechy presented a talk on the Macquarie
Island Pest Eradication Project and tonight Mick is going to show
pictures of Heard Island. It currently looks likely we will arrive at
Macca early Saturday morning.

Cheers

Andy, Graeme, Leanne
