Comments

Final Sitrep for voyage 6 and for the 2011/12 Shipping season.
We are in the mouth of the Derwent, due to berth at 1700. Many thanks to the ship's crew and to expeditioners returning and remaining at Macquarie island for a very successful voyage.
We have met the objectives of resupply, refuel, support to round trip projects, and return to Australia (RTA) a huge amount of rubbish and cargo.
All now looking forward to getting ashore to be reunited with friends and land.
Thanks to Brett Free who wrote a number of the better Sitreps this voyage.


Cheers Don, Simon, Brett.
