Comments

Heading North up 80E but will turn East at 62 or when the winds turn. Successfully completed last CTD and net trawl in lee of large berg yesterday despite 30kt winds. Oceanographers delirious and krill team satiated. Emergency muster also yesterday - what a busy day! All we have to do now is sail. Most travelling well. REGARDS Steve and Ruth
