Comments
Now at Zhong Shan with helicopters aboard and will start transfer of Chinare passengers soon. Top day yesterday. Made excellent progress southwards in perfect weather. Filled up krill tanks near the shelf break and then did an underwater video tow on the continental shelf in 500m depth. Plan is to leave Zhong Shan once Chinare transfer complete and motor slowly to Davis, doing an underwater video shot on the way. ETA Davis early tomorrow morning. Regards Dick and Tim
