Comments
Bunker door training today. During resupply the bunker door is used by everyone travelling via watercraft to enter and leave the ship. This is a serious posting as passing through the bunker door requires an adventure on a rope ladder. People on the bunker door roster are trained to detect food smugglers, muddy boot wearers, those who are clumsy, errant cameras, bags and clothing and excited travellers who forget to turn their fire tags.
We are presently maintaining position in the vicinity of the whale mooring awaiting sea conditions to abate.
Cheers
Andy and Misty
