Comments
A beautiful day on the Southern Ocean. Breakfast was unusually well-attended for the first day, thanks to the kind weather. We are on station testing gear. We have successfully completed a test cast of the CTD winch and a test of the trace-metal-clean water sampling rosette system is about to begin. All travelling well so far and looking forward to reaching the sea ice and starting the real work. Cheers, Steve and Andrew.
