Comments

We have now sent all the cargo ashore that needs to go ashore which is a fantastic result for everyone involved. The LARCS moved the final loads by early afternoon today. Only a small amount of cargo to come back to us now, most of which we are waiting to be flown in from the field in the next few days when helicopter operations start again. We were visited by a pod of Killer Whales today as we were anchored in Buckles Bay. It's been a Macca day of wind, sunshine, rain and hail.
