Comments
Retrieved AIS6 and 7; re-commenced CTD's at 2200 local. All equipment operating normally; great effort from marine science support crew. Have completed CTD's 24A-18 re-measurement, currently sidling up to #17. Hopeful from ice pics and continuous southerly winds of sneaking through the hole in the wall to eastern Amery, continue with CTD's and mooring retrieval. Bottom grab samples collected at CTD stations 18-22 should have been included in Sitrep 16, overnight on 11th Feb. Whale obs last night and previous evening yielded very few sightings.
