Comments

Exceptionally calm seas and light winds are helping us to effortlessly skip across the southern ocean at a comfortable 13 knots.

The ships crew and AAD expeditioners reviewed the Job Hazard Analysis for the deployment of the six ARGO floats we will deploy for CSIRO on the way to Mawson.

The CPR (Continuous Plankton Recorder) will be retrieved and it's sample collecting spool replaced later today.

Cheers,

Andy and Simon
