Comments
We managed to do two CTDs overnight during brief lulls in the weather, but conditions are marginal and expected to get worse for several days. We have five more stations to complete here before we head SW to resume the southern transect. Happy Australia Day to all. REGARDS Steve, Mark and Peter
