Day 48 : 25 January 2011

Hello All

Yesterday turned out to be quite successful with the back loading of cargo. We finished most of the cargo that was brought from SANAE and discharged 3 of the tanks.

This morning we hoped for getting the remainder of the tanks off, but had no luck and decided to follow the same procedure by getting all the sledges onboard and to the lighten the tanks a little before swinging the tanks over as a unit.

Since this morning the wind has been building from the South East and is now a chilling 20 knots bringing the wind chill temperature to about -15°C. We still have some fuel to pump to the German Base and will hopefully get around to do that during this lee time.

Perhaps conditions will be improved by the time the CAT train returns to Akta Bay.

Have a good afternoon.
