Comments

It has been a more pleasant day at sea with clear skies, sunshine and more favourable seas. Field training activities and planning meetings continue and the iceberg sweep is in full swing. Everyone on board is travelling well and thoroughly enjoying the sensational meals cooked up by the galley crew. The onboard scrabble score is Voyage Management: 1, Station Management: 0. The Continuous Plankton Recorder is still deployed.
