Comments
No work possible since last sitrep. 30-40 knot westerly winds and heavy seas throughout the period precluded any sampling. Still dodging around western oceanographic transect line waiting for weather to abate. Hoping to finish this transect before having to depart Heard Island Sunday evening or Monday morning.
