Comments
Completed two CTD casts last night on nwestern oceanographic transect, but high and confused swell after 3 days of near 30 knot winds have for the moment forced postponement of more stations. Large depression approaching suggests 40 knot winds over next two days, so may not get much more done for a while. Intend leaving Heard area Monday 26th AM in order to get to Zhong Shan on time, allowing for oceanographic transect southwards. Regards Dick and Tim
