Comments
We're off! Much thanks goes to Nicki Chilcott, the Macquarie 4 team, Aurora Australis crew and many others for our departure on time yesterday eve. Great conditions with some dolphins to farewell us off Dennes Point and a pleasant evening cruise down the coast of Bruny Island. The Southern Ocean Carbon Cycle sampling equipment is operating and all are settling in to shipboard life. Regards Robb and Simon
