We completed the priority SR03 Transect of CTD's early this morning and have been making way towards the next area of interest.
After lunch we stopped for an ice station in a small open area amongst the ice and deployed a team and the scientific equipment to a small and perfect floe. The currents did not play in our favour however, the whole area proving to be quite dynamic; the floe, initially alongside ended up forward off the port side of the bow with other floes blocking access and egress. In the end we decided to opt in the favour of caution, and pulled the pin, retrieving the team and equipment to the ship.
We are now in search of something easier and in a bigger pond!
Cheers
Andy and Mike
