The Crablogger Arrives at Base Control[]
Crablogger 1, a huge tree-felling machine, arrives at base camp in South America in preparation for its first mission. In the evening the base commander (Jansen), takes the crew for a meal at a local restaurant in nearby San Martino, as they are not due to start work until the next morning.
