Comments
Personnel transfers commenced after breakfast as the katabatic winds dropped quickly this morning. We began the fuel transfer as soon as possible and will continue until this evening when the katabatic winds will pick back up as the sun sets.
The jet barge is alongside with two years worth of 'sludge' from the waste treatment plant to be carefully loaded aboard and returned to Australia for final disposal. The crew will carefully check all the valves are closed as they will thaw on the way home...
Cheers,
Andy and Simon
