Comments

Woke up this morning to heavy snow showers but they cleared as if by schedule to allow us to recommence cargo operations at 0800. The weather held out until around 1400ish , when it started to creep up to the 25-30kt mark, prompting us to remove the barge from the water, pack up our operations and head back out to Frazier Island – this operation is like a well oiled machine now.
All cargo to be discharged from the ship was completed today, now we will concentrate on priority RTA (Return to Australia) cargo and await the elusive weather window for refuelling. Merry Christmas Everyone! REGARDS: Sharon, Fred and Jill
