Comments
Another quiet day on passage, with sonobuoys being deployed at regular intervals and several different species of whale detected including a rare southern right whale. Visual observations continue, as does the long task of report wiritng.
All is well and the team are looking forward to getting back to Nelson after a long voyage.
Regards Chris, Margaret, and the VWhales Team
