Comments
The winds declined to decrease yesterday and no further ship to shore operations eventuated.
The time was not wasted onboard or ashore with cargo being juggled and stowed onboard and plenty of unpacking and sorting of the cargo ashore.
Overnight the winds increased to over 50 knots and have been decreasing slowly ever since.
Handovers between the outgoing and incoming Mawson teams are underway.
If the winds drop low enough we will try to move some passengers and cargo by helicopter.
Cheers,
Andy and Simon
