Comments

After waiting yesterday for an opportunity to start operations, we took a deep sigh and called it a day in the late afternoon. But today, after the wind teased us through the morning, the weather decided to play nice.

The summer expeditioners are now on Macca, doing their handovers and enjoying their first night of many of their summer season. It has been a good day, after a lot of work by everyone and we have one more to go before we head home to Hobart.

It hasn't only been wrought today for those onboard, as people one and all enjoyed the view of Macca and its abundant wildlife as we waited for the winds to ease.
