Comments

We have finally left the pack ice behind.

Overnight we had some spectacular krill fishing results and our tanks
are full; enough to keep the krill biologists busy running experiments
all the way back to Australia, and fill the tanks there as well.

There are 3 last CTD's to complete before we head to our final task; an
attempt to recover a CSIRO mooring that lies on the sea floor a hundred
or so miles from Tasmania.

Cheers

Andy and Mike
