Comments
Into the Furious Fifties we go! A time zone change to UTC+9 last night gave us all a lie in this morning and an extra hour on our voyage south. Field training and resupply roster shenanigans continue, but we're getting close to a workable product on the rosters. Seawater temperature is sneaking down as we get closer to Antarctic waters. Our weather folk are predicting possible snow soon as we start to get some SW winds later on.
Regards, Doug & Misty
