First Mate Steve Parsons taking a well deserved nap

We have finished our work in the NZ Sub Antarctic for summer 2016, it was another good season, the Department of Conservation gave us a great send off from Bluff with some fine words of appreciation for the work we have been doing in the NZ sub Antarctic islands for the last 16 years, it was a hart felt and emotional send off for all involved, over the last 16 years we have done more then 170 charter trips from Bluff to the Sub Antarctic and Antarctic islands in the role of logistic support vessel for science, film, tourist  and infrastructure work, that must be some sort of record.

For the 2016/17 southern summer season we will be taking it a bit easier basing working out of Auckland for a series of voyages for DOC to the Kermadec islands, while getting ready to take the boat up to the Arctic.
