Lots of water but you get use to it . Cargo is loaded on the boat in Cairns (very busy time) when we arrive at lockhart river the first unloading takes place. The crane (the big yellow thingo) is expertly driven by a young fellow and was pure poetry to watch. The whole action is highly organised and we could see that practice makes perfect - The Trinity Bay even carries its own forklift truck whick was firstloaded onto the barge from Lockhart River and then transferred back to our ship again when finished. Impressive!!
