Comments

Macquarie Island is in sight and expeditioners are on the decks as we approach.

The plan is to drop anchor and bring the station leader and Tasmanian Wildlife Ranger in charge aboard to brief the expeditioners, before transferring them ashore by Inflatable Rubber Boat (IRB).

We also hope to launch the two amphibious LARCS.

Cheers

Andy, Justin and Aron
