Comments
Continued to make solid progress averaging 16.8 knots for the twenty four hours. Deployed the first of the CSIRO Argos buoys at 2035 yesterday at 53 07Sand 91.40E and the second at 1152LT this morning at 51 46S and 97 01E. Recovered the third continuous plankton recorder and deployed the fourth at 2000LT yesterday. Most passengers remain well although some confined to bed since we encountered rougher conditions.
