SAA II SITREP Voy 004-027

Hello All

Yesterday after completing the flight operations we went offshore a bit to run test deployments on the UCTD system, which turned out very successful. We then proceded to the Quest Bay anchorage and was brought up at 14:30.

This morning the anchor was aweigh shortly after sun rise to make way for Transvaal Bay to complete the last of the luggage lifts and passenger flights to the vessel. All was done by 09:00 in the morning as we made our way around the island slowly while settling in and securing the vessel for a sea passage. We then conducted a emergency and boat muster while ringing full away for Tristan da Cunha at 09:48. It seems that the year team is quite sad to leave behind there home for a year, but they are very happy to finally have some fresh fruit again.

We will be at Tristan at first light tomorrow and should be there until Friday evening before heading for Cape Town.

All the best.
