Comments
Improved weather conditions allowed completion of 5 CTDs in last 24 hours; currently heading for last accessible CTD site on this line if ice conditions allow. Only 60% of planned CTDs will have been completed but oceanographers reasonably satisfied with outcome. Begin transit to Davis at around 1400 today with an ETA at Davis anchorage of 0930 tomorrow. Fog and ice may slow progress.
Regards, Steve and Ruth
