Comments
Good weather and good progress continue. Four deep CTDs, including deep and shallow trace metal sampling, completed in last 24 hours. There is an intense low moving eastward to our north, but it looks like we will miss the worst of it. In terms of wind, it sounds like we have been better off in the Southern Ocean than in Hobart. Cheers, Steve and Deepy
