Comments

We arrived at station 5 (old station 7) yesterday evening for a long (12 hour) visit. We completed CTD's to 400m and 2500m, deployed catax, FRRF, snatcher and ring net casts, a NIWA cast, and deployed the McLean pumps for 3.5 hours before the weather deteriorated. Departed station in time for breakfast. Now travelling towards process station 2 where we expect to arrive late tomorrow and to remain for about 5 days. Ship rolling along steadily in moderating winds. Regards Vicky & Karin
