Comments
Yesterday we completed 4 more RMT's with an early success on the VL's shift leaving the stakes pretty even (1 1/2 buckets of smaller krill and some squiggly things)!
This morning we finished the Mawson box (for now) and are heading to a site located previously on the echo sounders, to try another demersal (bottom) trawl. After this we hope to duck back into the Mawson box to finish off a few extra RMT's and allow the Science Coordinator a chance to catch up!
Cheers,
Andy and Simon
