Comments
Arrived at process station number 2 just before midnight. We have been busy since arrival, deploying 3 drifting mooring with sediment traps (G-string, P-string and I-string), followed by a CTD to 200m, a plankton net, and a NIWA cast. The full afternoon has included the McLean pumps to 300m, several runs with the snatcher and a CTD to 2500m. We plan to remain in the district for 5 days. Votes on the T-shirt design are rolling in, with the election to be closed tonight. The seas have moderated and we saw some sunny skies for a short period. Regards Vicky & Karin
