Comments
We’ve been steaming slowly to weather for the last 12 hours or so. Conditions have eased somewhat, but the swell is still too big for us to put the CTD in the water. For the time being we will wait it out, and hope to continue the transect later tonight or tomorrow. REGARDS Steve, Mark and Peter
