Comments

Another great cargo day with the tween deck of the ship almost emptied. It is as it sounds, the deck between the hatch and the lower hold. Once we finish emptying this deck we remove a number of pontoons that exposes the lower hold. In this hold are a number of interesting items that we need to discharge. Three Quad tractors, a tractor, two dozers and a crane along with a number of other pieces of cargo. Another interesting day ahead.

An adorable Adelie penguin had a lovely ride from the shore to the ship after it jumped onto one of the pontoons. We are unsure if the penguin thought it was a fast moving iceberg but it appeared to enjoy the ride. Once the pontoon arrived against the ship it decided it the job of assisting the watercraft operators as a look out was over and did an amazingly graceful swan dive into the water.

Cheers
Leanne and Jacob
