Comments

Completed station 12, a long station, by deploying 3 CTD casts (2500m, 1000m and 400m), the NIWA, the McLean pumps, the RMT, the optical instruments, snatchers and ring nets. Good time had by all. Station 13 was this morning with a single CTD cast to 1000m and deployment of the Cataxe and FRRF. We are now heading towards station 14, where we will begin to search for the location of process station 3. The intention is to do a few CTD's in the region and look at the underway data in combination with satellite ocean colour images to help make this decision. Muster held today on back deck, followed by a group photo. Regards Vicky & Karin
