We departed Hobart just after 3pm yesterday and journeyed down river a few miles to prepare for fuel hose deployment testing today. In the evening, we put on a nautical ballet for the residents of Taroona and Sandy Bay by executing ten perfect pirouettes on the spot as we tested the Dynamic Positioning of the vessel.
The barge has been deployed this morning and we expect to spend the remainder of today testing the fuel hose deployment and recovery process in rehearsal for the big show at Casey in a few weeks' time.
Later this evening, we will be moving out into Storm Bay to prepare for Silent-R acoustics testing which will be our Christmas day treat, with lunch and present opening now deferred to Boxing Day. Regardless, we confirm that Santa is cleared for landing on the helideck overnight.
