Comments

Completed CTD a mile from ULS1, then retrieved ULS1 (as promised!). Proceeded S along ice edge, completed 4 CTD's and bottom grabs as alternatives to original 6-2 which cannot be reached due to fast ice. Several whale sightings; krill netting harvested 2 specimens before net damaged (aggressive critters), currently under repair ready for tonight's haul. Returned N along ice edge, conducted Fast Recovery Craft exercise in preparation for possible whale biopsy later today as opportunity presents. Intention, return to western Amery, retrieve recalcitrant moorings and complete 5 new CTD's in zone of outflow from AIS.
