Comments
Today we play the waiting game. With winds too high for the barges this morning, the two ships, Aiviq and Happy Dragon are waiting in Kista Straight just off Mawson station. Radio chatter continues as the station begin their handovers and we sit idly by watching and waiting. Once the winds die down, we will recommence our Mawson ferry service as the station and the Aiviq prepare for refuelling. The only good news this morning was the realisation at breakfast that it's Sunday, and on the Happy Dragon, that mean croissants. Tres bien, merci chefs!
