Comments
We've left the seaice behind now, and are back in the open ocean. The Continuous Plankton Recorder has been deployed behind the ship, and this morning we dropped the first of 8 ARGO profiling floats over the side for the CSIRO. Our regular Saturday morning emergency muster drill on the heli deck this morning, was a quiet little gathering compared to the huge congregation it has been in the recent past. Regards from Doug and Nicky
