Comments
Weather and sea state moderated again yesterday and we are back to relatively smooth sailing conditions. At 0305 local time this morning deployed first meteorology drifting buoy at 60 00, 85 00. Thanks to the passengers who volunteered to assist with the deployment of the buoy. Ongoing planning and liaison with station leader's Mawson and Davis continues. Presentation last night from Peter Yates on Antarctic communication systems. All passengers continue to travel well. REGARDS Richard and Jenny
