Comments
The expected change in the weather has arrived. As the weather has come up we have used the time to steam back to the NE to do the seven CTD stations we skipped in order to use the good weather for the mooring work. We hope to squeeze in a few stations tonight, before the next blow comes through. The forecast is not promising for the rest of the week. REGARDS Steve, Mark and Peter
