Another delightful day here. Fuel line set-up completed and pumping commenced yesterday at 1643, moving 32,000 l/hr. At 1145 we had pumped 577,250 litres without stoppages. Water transfer commenced at 2135 last night, and the last truckload is about to depart the ship, having delivered approximately 172,000 litres of fresh water. Cargo ops are on hold from the ship, but I suspect it's flat-out ashore unpacking and moving things about. Our lay-down area is holding up well, and probably enjoying the day off from heavy machinery trundling about all over it. The DVL and Chief went in to town today, to check out the cargo that is due to be loaded to the ship over the next few days.
Regards, Doug & Andrew
