Comments
A slightly later start today and, particularly at the shore point, higher winds.
Yesterday we finished sending cargo ashore and are now focussing on RTA.
A pod of orcas greeted us on arrival into Kista Strait this morning. One male, several females and a calf.
We hope to have the lower cargo holds full and the pontoons in place by the end of the day.
No weather windows to put the ship in the harbour have appeared on the current forecast so we are now looking at refuelling the station over West Arm. This is a 3 day operation.
