Comments

Today was boot and equipment cleaning day. Everyone filed through the cleaning stations to remove any missed bits of soil, seed or plant material from their gear.

A large meeting was held this afternoon involving the watercraft operators, ships crew and voyage management. A variety of resupply topics were discussed including communication techniques, cargo, rosters, lifting equipment, the barge, bunker door ops, watercraft passengers and safety.

Training will continue tomorrow with a session for the bunker door team.

The ship is currently tracking towards the next ARGO float deployment site. After that we're heading over to collect the whale mooring.

Cheers

Andy and Misty
