Rosemary left the boat today to fly back to the UK.  Toby and Nadine arrived on the same plane so we now just have Andrej to arrive to make up the full crew.  Plane was delayed, so it effectively meant that the day was, for James, a day of waiting – first for the car hire queue, and then for the plane.  Doug meanwhile made up for this by completing the servicing of the winches – with no parts left over when reassembled.

Today the main concentration will be on provisioning – firstly the ARC seminar, then to put it into action.  Weather is pretty grim – heavy showers and strong winds.
