Comments

We are now stooging at sea waiting for the weather to improve so we can recommence cargo operations.
The time has not been wasted as we have calibrated the ships position holding system and tested the trace metal winch and pumps which need to be lowered into the ocean without touching the steel hull or winch equipment.

Cheers

Andy and Mike
