Comments

Commenced SAZ-B9 mooring deployment yesterday at 1415, and completed by 1706. Triangulation on the mooring was completed at 1930, and we headed south to SAZ-C on both engines, averaging just over 16 knots overnight. Back to one engine now, as we won't be on location at SAZ-C with enough daylight. The CPR was deployed as we left SAZ-B, and three ARGO floats have also been hurled into the deep blue sea. Field training commenced today, as will post-lunch presentations. The Queens Baton made an appearance yesterday for a photo opportunity on the bow of the ship, marking 100 days to go until the Commonwealth Games... REGARDS Doug & Rob
