Comments

Still sailing north along Transect 2 in fine conditions. Will turn east later today and head for Transect 3. Much krill on the sounders, in the net and now in the experimental tanks. BBQ for Australia Day this afternoon then it is back to CTDs tomorrow. All the best to everyone for Australia Day from Australia's remote outpost in the Southwest. REGARDS Steve and Ruth
