Comments
We recovered mooring 1 yesterday afternoon. A very strong current had set the mooring much more strongly to the southeast than we expected, leading to some anxious hours before we got hold of it. We did two deep CTDs overnight and picked up the second mooring between breakfast and lunch today. Now on our way to the site of mooring 3, hoping to take advantage of the surprisingly good weather we have had so far to get a few more mooring recoveries done. REGARDS Steve, Mark and Peter
