SAA II SITREP Voy 004-008

Hello All

A boot washing ceremony and team leaders meeting was held yesterday afternoon in anticipation of today's arrival at Gough island. We were not quite sure if the weather would be workable, but all stations were on standby if it was.

We stopped for an hour yesterday afternoon shortly before supper to do a CTD cast before continuing on our way.

We were in Transvaal Bay early this morning and decided that it was all systems go with the weather workable. We completed all the passenger flights and changed over helicopters to complete several under slung loads to the island.

With the vessel holding station beautifully on DP it makes life much easier.  We are now preparing for the rest of the cargo to be flown off the vessel.

We have put aside tomorrow to complete the refueling on the island since it is predicted to be a very nice day weather wise, but in many ways the calm before the storm and from what we can see next week will not be workable at all.

Enjoy the weekend and all the best.
