Comments

Left Mawson at 1700 yesterday; acoustics calibrations completed in perfect conditions and in record time. Many thanks to all at Mawson, the crew and the acoustics team for such a slick operation. Station hospitality was first class and all aboard are ready to face the final month of the voyage. Currently heading for the start of Transect 8 but are proceeding slowly to let a nasty weather system abate before we head north. REGARDS Steve and Ruth
