Comments
We finished the CTD (Conductivity, temperature and depth) by dinner time
last night. Since then we have travelled about 15nm mostly overnight. We
are now in a small area of open water. A helicopter recce has given the
bridge team a few options to pursue. The helicopter is on stand by in
case another recce is required. We hope to arrive at our next ice
station tomorrow morning sometime.
Cheers
Andy, Brett
