Comments

We finished pumping fuel last night when the lower fuel farm was complete, we started again this morning filling the upper fuel farm.

Occasionally we managed to sneak the odd unifloat section to the aft of the ship to load as RTA on the helicopter deck. The Unifloats are capable of being fixed together to form various shaped and capacity barges but are now past their use by date.

The bird bios are at it again, this time they are on Bechervaise Island counting penguins.
