Comments

We had a good day yesterday, discharging some cargo, setting up for refuelling, collected two expeditioners from Bechervaise Island and moored in Horseshoe Harbour.

Today the winds have dropped to operational parameters. We have transferred expeditoners ashore to continue with their projects and the DVL, trainee and Chief Mate to walk around the cargo destined for RTA (return to Australia) to assess if it is ok for loading to the vessel. Final preparations for refuelling are underway on board with the forecast showing it is a great day to refuelling.

The barge is being put into the water from the ship to commence cargo operations.

Cheers
Leanne, Simon and Amy
