[Exports_project_office] [Exports_process_ship] personal items-what to bring on EXPORTS cruise?

[Stuart Halewood]

Hi Deborah,

That’s all good info, thanks for that.

Have you by any chance come up with a bunk/berth allocation for the RV
Revelle (Process ship) yet?

i.e. who’s in which cabin so we can figure out ifcpeople are on opposite
shifts and who’s sharing with whom etc?

Cheers,

Stuart
