Comments

Sampling stations coming thick and fast as we move up the continental slope and shelf. Heavier ice yesterday slowed progress slightly but all stations completed. Trawls continue to bring in krill. Should finish Transect One tomorrow morning on schedule and will take the tourist route East direct to Transect Two. REGARDS Steve and Ruth
