The space left in the bay with the departure of Nuyina was quickly replaced with wind. In the vacuum, to our dismay, winds rapidly increased to 30 knots, a stark contrast to the glassy, windless condition of the previous days. Shortly after, a revised weather forecast came through, confirming that we will continue to play this game of cat and mouse with the weather for the coming days. So today, we delayed the start of operations to maximize the better weather forecast for the afternoon and satisfyingly this has paid off, with conditions easing enough to discharge the large traverse project sleds. After years of meticulous planning, cunning problem solving and unwavering resolve, it's a relief for many to see these key pieces of equipment finally ashore, through station and out to the laydown area at "Penguin Pass".
REGARDS: Anthea and Misty.
