Comments

Yesterday after completing the CTD trial we switched into krill hunting mode, with the echo sounders being watched on shifts overnight, we are close to filling the krill tanks.

We are now heading back to the ice edge to turn south and head towards Casey with the intention of arriving sometime tomorrow morning.

Cheers

Andy and Mike
