Comments
Departed Macca yesterday afternoon at 1615, and initially made very good speed towards SAZ-C on both engines. Slowed to 12 knots last night, and this morning fog has slowed us again, so we're back to one engine. The forecast isn't too flash for the mooring site, but forecasts can be wrong, and the mooring team is keen to have a go. The three new faces on board have been inducted into the mysterious ways of the mariner, and are already volunteering their services for the anticipated science programs. Field training kicks off this afternoon.
