Comments

Another day of marginal weather in which we have achieved great results with cargo to the ship, passenger transfers and lots of great cargo retrieval and other flying from the island huts and field locations. We even had a field hut "flying" under one of the helicopters back from the South of the island. Most of the passenger movement ship-shore is now to the ship as field science and other workers finish up their projects and return for hot showers and the amazing Aurora Australis food. We were also really happy to see most of the winter team heading home join us today as well. We are all very focussed now on using some small opportunities the forecasts suggests we may have in the coming days to deliver the station fuel ashore.

Cheers,
Robb, Nicki, Aaron and Eliza.
