We continue on schedule for our arrival in Hobart at 0800hrs Friday.
Last night we had a special evening where we auctioned off artworks and handicrafts which had been created on station and on this voyage. A Special thanks to all those who provided the items for auction. A magnificent total of well over $8,000 was raised for the charity Camp Quality which is supported by the Aurora Australis and all who sail on her.
This is the penultimate sitrep for V3 and a good time to reflect on what has been achieved on this voyage. In terms of people we have delivered 16 wintering expeditioners to stations and we will return 80 expeditioners home. We delivered some 700 tonnes of cargo across 2 stations and we delivered close to one million litres of fuel. 23 round trip projects were completed 5 at sea and 18 on stations. This voyage has completed every objective set for it.
Thanks to all voyage support personnel, round trip project owners, expeditioners and Aurora Australis Crew who made all this happen. Until we sail again..............
Cheers
Tony and Simon
