Comments
Our first berg was spotted yesterday afternoon although there were some rules based protests by those entered in the sweep. The weather has picked up a bit and the ship is moving about a little more however we are still enjoying generally good conditions. The marine scientists continue their phytoplankton observations in the labs, while many stretched their brains at a quiz night held in the restaurant last night. Planning and preparation for Casey operations continues, with perhaps as little as 48hrs before we may commence if the weather allows. Regards Robb, Andy and Susan
