Comments
On the North West corner of the survey area and will turn South this afternoon to begin the first full sampling transect. Krill and whales visible for much of yesterday. Many thanks to the thousands who expressed concern over global warming based on information from yesterday's sitrep - the air temperature should have read 0.6 not 60.2! REGARDS Steve and Ruth
