Comments

We are making good progress to the south, having completed 5 CTD stations in the last 24 hours. The wind picked up overnight as we passed through the edge of a large storm to the north of us, but not enough to stop us working. The deployment of the whale listening mooring (ARP) was successful and the high resolution fluorescence profiler was deployed again. REGARDS Steve, Mark and Peter
