Comments

A gloomy Sunday if you looked at the skies, but with the cloud just high enough to keep the helicopters working from ship to shore we managed just over 100 flights to return cargo and move some passengers for day trips. A few bright moments as we all got distracted by pods of Orca whales swimming past and a pause in operations as the wind and swell switched around but all-in-all a successful Sunday. We're due to take a well earned break tomorrow with a 'low-tempo' Monday due to some strong winds and squalls expected. With that, we'll be into our last few days here for the resupply, hopefully a few more days of favourable weather and we'll be all finished. Hope you all had a nice weekend back home!



REGARDS: Dave & Sam
