Israeli visitor, Olga Aamidor, Josh's mother.
Ian, Olga and Joy aboard the Explorer waiting for the cameraman to set the timer.
Olga presents the ORF with an Israeli handmade pottery plaque with good luck tokens as a gesture of support for the ship.
Joy takes the opportunity to give Olga an introductory lesson on the art of hand filing steel railings.
Joy and her keen student at the wheelhouse.
Ian at the compressor taking a break from gritblasting. Work inside the new fuel tanks is nearly completed and today the blasting equipment functioned well. Keeping humidity out of the blasting material has been a problem with Melbourne's recent balmy weather.
Polly Woodside - always a pleasure to look at. The bow of Explorer at lower right
