Today with a sea mist and overcast conditions atop calm waters, we were able to commence our first full day of cargo operations using a single barge. It is quite extraordinary to watch how quickly both the AAD and MPV Everest workgroups have integrated their work routines with many of the lessons learned from the preceding half days well and truly institutionalised. By afternoon the clouds had lifted revealing a glimmering sea and a coastline littered with grounded icebergs of all shapes and sizes. This afternoon, cargo operations are continuing and we have just welcomed back aboard our DVL Jenn and the MPV Everest's chief mate following their onshore inspection of 'Return To Australia' (RTA) cargo in anticipation of back loading operations in the days to come.
The AAD is continuing to work through our email connectivity issues. I can assure you that besides the various and ongoing challenges associated with maintaining reliable connectivity, we are all in good health and spirits, enjoying a productive day of cargo operations in this uniquely beautiful part of the world.
Regards.
James, Jenn and Andy.
