Comments

Cargo operations were a great success yesterday with all cargo for Davis delivered. This included a Hagglunds articulated tracked vehicle which needs lifting with a steel frame.

We are now stooging about 20km from Davis behind the Two Ladies Bank waiting for the storm to peak and then drop enough to cut and run into Davis to transfer the passengers ashore.

Interestingly the sea water temperature has not yet dropped below freezing.

Cheers
