Comments

Today saw the weather strengthen from the South West, preventing any cargo operations or ship to shore transfer. Much of the day on board has been about conversations, cups of tea, cross words, a slower paced day and the chance for some rest. We will continue to 'stooge' up and down the eastern side of Macquarie Island overnight and look forward to continuing operations tomorrow.
