Comments

Yesterday we ended up about 120nm to the west north west of the start of the Monolith box. Running with the wind and seas was far more comfortable on the people and ship than trying to fight it.

The seas peeked at around 6-8m and the winds in the 60's (60 knots is about 110kmh).

We are now heading back in lighter winds and smaller seas, to the start of the Monolith box and expect to be trawling and doing acoustic work around 6pm this evening.

Cheers,

Andy and Simon
