Comments

Today was a successful resupply day after adapting operational plans to match the weather conditions in the morning. We deployed the round trip expeditioners ashore by helicopter, commenced cargo operations by LARC until mid-afternoon, when the waves at the beach increased and we ceased LARC operations. Expeditioners were bought back to the ship by helicopter and we will 'stooge' up and down the island tonight.
