Comments
Weather and sea conditions remain good and we continue to experience a smooth passage. Following receipt of approval from BOM Melbourne we amended the coordinates slightly for the placement of the second meteorological drifting buoy, it was deployed at 63 35, 85 00 at 2210 last night. This change will enable a shorter return time and Master advises that subject to conditions remaining favourable ETA could be late afternoon Thursday 20th February. Time advanced forward one hour overnight and we are now operating on Casey time. REGARDS Richard and Jenny
