Comments
Started oceanographic transect southwards towards Prydz Bay. Completed four of eleven stations so far. We have therefore left the Heard Island area after a fitting farewell as we sailed past the island yesterday. Best wishes for Australia Day. Our home is definitely girt by sea at this time. Regards Dick and Tim
