Comments
The end of the day yesterday saw a dramatic and sudden increase in wind strength. Recovering the barge to the ship was a challenging operation under the circumstances and the recovery of the IRBs also provided some significant challenges.
This morning at around 11:00 am the wind speed eventually dropped off to provide conditions good enough for watercraft operations.
We are presently getting the deck well stacked with RTA cargo.
Cheers
Andy and Misty
