Comments
We stooged overnight in Vincennes Bay whilst the winds blew up to 60kts at Casey.
We anchored in Newcomb Bay again this morning at 7am. The barge was put in the water and cargo recommenced.
A 20 foot shipping container, fitted with an aquarium has been set up ashore for keeping krill alive. This afternoon we intend to send a few hundred krill ashore to then be kept alive in the aquarium, until flying resumes at Wilkins in late January, when they can be flow back to Hobart.
Cheers
Andy and Mike
