Day 06 : 16 March 2011

Hello All

We waited in anticipation yesterday for the weather to moderate to a flyable state. This luckily occurred around 17:00 and we knew it was going to be a push to get the required passenger and cargo flights done before sun set, which was just before 19:00.

All in all a good days work with us getting done what was required. after which we anchored for the night in a favoured anchor position in Macaroni Bay.

This morning we were scheduled to do a round the island tour for the remaining delegates, but the swell out of the lee was considered to be to big for comfort and we stayed close inshore on the eastern side of the island, but still got to see some amazing wildlife.

We are now just stemming the strong north westerlies off the base waiting for the next front to pass before hopefully getting the very anxious delegates off to the new base.

Let us once more hold thumbs.
