Comments
The weather continues to treat us kindly, for the most part, although the occasional big swells can make deploying the CTD a little awkward. We continue to work our way through a series of frustrating but not fatal gear problems – Tim Shaw, the electronics man, is earning his keep. All in good spirits. REGARDS Steve, Mark and Peter
