Comments
A perfect Antarctic day yesterday as we moved across the front of Prydz Bay in brilliant sunshine; dozens of whales, icebergs, seals and birds and a Kodachrome sunset. Completed a FRC launch and retrieval test this morning. About to commence a test of multiple net system. Expect to commence survey at 2200 hrs this evening. Regards, Steve and Ruth
