Comments
The weather continues to be kind. Although the wind picked up to 30 knots overnight the swell is pushing us along nicely and the ride is relatively smooth. We have deployed the Continuous Plankton Recorder which is being towed behind the ship, and stopped to conduct a FRRF. We also had an emergency muster drill on the heli deck this morning, but apart from that it has been an uneventful day of report writing. Regards, Tony, Dave and Petra.
