Comments

Hove to at top of transect 6 when winds reached 40-50 kts yesterday evening and visibility decreased. Wind has dropped but forecast is for 60 kts this evening. Poor visibility, swell and forecast weather precludes heading further south today. Successful test of underwater camera system yesterday afternoon. Hoping for some good luck, sometime. Regards, Steve and Ruth
