Yesterday we turned S at around 65S 152E, back towards the sea ice edge to search for whales. Overnight we conducted a zig zag course heading N then S or to and from the sea ice edge for ship safety reasons during the night, a standard practice. This morning we woke to heavy fog which has reduced visibility to 200m from the ship at times, not ideal for spotting whales to say the least. Today, we will continue to track E following the sea ice edge to under the Balleny Islands. We currently have Remora ready for scientific work and are hoping that the fog will lift as the day progresses and we find some whales after a single humpback sighting early this morning. The weather forecast for tomorrow mentions the word "fine", so we are all hoping for that. Regards Hully, Sarah and Nick
