Comments
Calm seas and light winds again today. We had our first muster drill where the expeditioners waited on the helicopter deck whilst the crew practised a security sweep of the vessel. It was very pleasant relaxing in the sun!
The first of the six ARGO floats was deployed without incident.
The CPR (Continuous Plankton Recorder) will be retrieved and it's sample collecting spool replaced shortly after midnight tonight.
Our clocks will be retarded (go back one hour) again tonight.
Cheers Andy and Simon
