Comments
Changed course to achieve southing to avoid more heavy weather. Clocks now back 2 hours behind AEST. Planning meeting this morning with Master and First Officer. Recent ice information and Davis weather suggests cause for some optimism for oceanographic program in the Amery region. Whale and sea bird programs and water and plankton sampling going well.
