Comments

Normal sailing the past 24hrs. Aurora retarded clocks by a further hour for the last time yesterday evening and is now observing the same timezone as Davis Station. The fifth and last Continuous Plankton Recorder was retrieved around 11.30am local (Ship) time today. Planning is well underway for the Davis resupply and extraction of summer personnel, with Aurora expected to arrive in the vicinity of Davis sometime early on Thursday morning. Voyage Management continue to liaise closely with the Davis Station Leader for the main activities to be undertaken while at station. Cheers Andy, Leanne and Mark
