SAA II SITREP Voy 004-012

Hello All

After afternoon tea yesterday afternoon we recovered the anchor and steam offshore until a depth of over 500 meters were reached for a CTD cast. The cast went well and we were at anchor again in Quest Bay shortly before supper.

This morning conditions were good and some extra stores were required on the island and a visit for the ship based scientists were made possible. The B206 flew passengers between 09 and 10. We then used the sheltered bay to complete our lifeboat exercise by launching the port lifeboat and giving Officer's and crew familiarization in the boats launching and operation, we did the same for the FRB.

We will remain at anchor until tea time today after which we would recover the anchor and steam to Transvaal Bay for the passenger flights back to the ship. We are planning to leave for the buoy run tomorrow morning.

All the best.
