Comments
A remarkably unpleasant 24hrs with wind gusting to 50 kts and 7-9 metre swells. This has resulted in a somewhat bent transect line and numerous grumpy people. Data should still be usable and not too much time lost. Should reach Transect 7 sometime tonight and will slowly be making our way South to Mawson. Just passed the half way mark for the voyage.
