Comments

We completed the I9S transect last night about 2100 local time. The last CTD was carried out in 8/10 pack with lots of large, rotten and fast-moving flows, and deteriorating weather, but we managed to keep a hole open long enough to carry out the profile. We are now heading back north to the first mooring site near the Kerguelen plateau. REGARDS Steve, Mark and Peter
