Hello All
Last night shortly after supper we completed our last CTD cast in the middle of the entrance to Akta Bay in 250m water. Another leg of this voyage was completed successfully when the CTD was finally landed on deck with a celebrating party to receive it on deck and secure it.
We ran to the ramp area after the CTD recovery to inspect it for work this morning. The wind was still around 20 knots with the swell rushing up against the shelf as if at Clifton Beach. This was a bit worrying and justifyingly so, since this morning backload of the tanktainers ended up being very challenging.
We are hoping that the good forecasts for the next couple of days will result in a lower swell. We should finish the pumping today and return the tanktainers ashore later on this afternoon.
The Kamov arrived on deck shortly before lunch bringing the DCO and the Doctor back while we pump fuel and do cargo backloading.
Have a good Friday.
