Comments
Incredibly smooth and efficient operation at Davis yesterday allowed a 1500 sailing with 42 new holidaymakers. Many thanks to John Rich and all his troops, and the crew of the AA, for such a slick operation. Heavier than expected ice slowed overnight progress but are currently skirting to the North of the pack. Will conduct two CTD calibrations and one net trawl at 80E just to annoy everyone, then make all haste for Hobart! REGARDS Steve and Ruth
