The small landing craft we are on is stuck on the bottom of the sea bed…its propellers turn but we are going nowhere…the captain tells us all – to move to the left of the boat, then the right, then forward…finally we move

The military have been unloading a supply ship all night long. They use small sea craft to carry & land tons of food, wine and fuel ashore. This has to keep 24 people alive for 6 – 8 months. A 1000 litres of fuel is burnt each day to heat the huts.
