Comments

We arrived at anchorage on time at 0630 and were anchored by 0725. After breakfast we cracked straight into deploying an IRB (inflatable Rubber Boat) and then the Bill Budd, our jet barge. Then straight into cargo operations.

The plan is to get all of the priority cargo off today and then choof off to the north and stooge, while a big nasty storm comes past. We will then return to Davis to drop off the expeditioners who are onboard and waiting to get to work at Davis; an Occupational Hygienist here to look and sign off on the asbestos clean up, and a group of Navy Hydrographers here to survey waters to the north east of the station.

Cheers
