The AM's travelling for a week and using the Android Blogger app on the Samsung Galaxy tablet. In what may be the final communique from Astrolabe Reef, a close friend of the Antipodean Mariner eloquently described his feelings as they put their stern to the Rena for the last time;
The Rena is just a hulk now, whose carcase will be picked over by salvors, divers, insurers, politicians and lawyers for years to come. She no longer has any grace, life, mystique or majesty - the love affair is over.
The AM will keep a weather eye on Astrolabe Reef but the prize of salvaging the Rena has been lost.

Indeed. I second those feelings, and wish the salvors well, although I'll still keep an eye on MNZ to see if they cover any new developments.
