Comments

Despite the valiant efforts of the ships crew Science technical Support team and our visiting Japanese expert we had no luck retrieving the moorings yesterday.

We are now steaming up and down the Darnley box doing transects and RMT's.

There are quite a few jade bergs in the region.

Tonight we will move our clocks forward to UTC+7 to be on the same time zone as Davis station.

Cheers,

Andy and Simon
