Comments
We concluded cargo operations yesterday and managed to backload almost 50 tonnes of RTA cargo. We have high winds today and rough seas. The ship is cruising up and down the east coast of the island to escape some of the bad weather. All five expeditioners on board are resting today after a busy week of resupply. We are planning to embark all expeditioners from shore to ship tomorrow morning by LARC if the conditions are acceptable. Our plan is then to depart Macquarie Island late tomorrow morning if all goes well.
REGARDS: Martin and Mark
