Replacement parts and supplies for both vessels are loaded onto the helo in Tarawa.


 Part is on the ground and will be on the way to you shortly. Wishing I was coming back, but it just didn’t make sense to travel seven days to be there for two hours. I’m confident you’ll be up and running at full efficiency soon. You’ve got a great team there and if it was easy, everyone would be out doing this kind of stuff. The team should feel proud of what they are doing, and the best is yet to come. I’ll either be in Pago Pago for the Leg change, or maybe pop out mid-March to see how it’s going. Keep me posted.

 And will be en route to us shortly. Thanks to all who helped make this happen. We hope to be up and running at full capability in a couple days. Cheers.
