Comments

Resupply operations were completed this afternoon and once the helicopters were flown to the vessel and stowed in the hanger the ship departed Macquarie Island at 1830hrs Macquarie Island time.

We will be sailing into some rather nasty weather with a low pressure system and as a result the swell is starting to increase and it looks like we are in for a bumpy ride tonight.

Cheers Don, Simon and Brett
