Comments
Correction to yesterday's sitrep no. 713 which should have read: "Fast ice prevented access to CTD's 25, 24 but one as near as possible completed 24A (350m) and currently on #23 (1150m)." Since yesterday's sitrep, have completed nos. 23 to 18, 17A (due to navigation error) and 16, before being stopped by heavy ice 2 miles from 15. Turned back to the west and did (the real) 17 but had to repeat due to freezing instrumentation. Intention, subject to weather forecast from Davis, either try for moorings AIS 5, 6, 7 or repeat CTD's. Emergency muster exercise at 1pm local time.
