Comments

Remarks : Unfortunately inclement weather precluded all operations today and we spent all day sailing up and down the island with most of the punters onboard watching TV. The forecast is for a marginally better day tomorrow although it will be quite ordinary in the early part of the morning with a clearing trend mid to late morning so fingers crossed we can recommence cargo operations then.
There has been 75% of the on island round trip tasks completed so far with the remaining 25% due to be completed before departure we are just waiting on WX to launch the helicopters.
Other than that just another typically wet and windy day at Macca ........... why would you be anywhere else !

Regards Micky, Martin & Pud.
