Day 59 :05 February 2011

Hello All

How lucky are we, with all the cargo onboard and us heading back to Cape Town via the Good Hope transect line.

We worked late yesterday evening loading all the heavy lifts and flew all the SANAP guys back on, which only left the AWI containers for this morning.

This morning the swell still gave us a hard time against the shelf, but we managed to get all the cargo onboard and were finally backing of the shelf shortly before lunch and rang full away at noon.

At the moment we are still slow steaming while securing the cargo and setting up some of the scientific instruments. The fog and snow has closed up visibility, so we will take it slow while still in iceberg infested waters.

Have a good Saturday.
