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
