Comments
The wind eased overnight and we returned to Newcomb Bay, dropping anchor again off Casey at 7.30am.
The heavy lifts of Return to Australia (RTA) cargo are being loaded in perfect conditions so far. This morning a 24 tonne bulldozer and 23 tonne loader have been lifted on board. We are planning on lifting the remaining and heaviest items with the rising tide this afternoon.
Tomorrow should see much of the remaining RTA loaded and the ship will be almost as full as on the way down, with the exception of fuel.
Cheers,
Andy, Vic and Eloise
