Comments

The planning process is now well underway with meetings being held daily with crew, project staff and voyage support staff.

Tonight will be our first time change, with the clock retarding one hour tonight and every second night after that for until we are on Davis time of UTC+7. After we depart Davis we will have another two hours to retard to join Mawson on UTC+5.

Tomorrow morning will be the first Continuous Plankton Recorder change which we hope to film for the AAD social media team.

Cheers

Andy and Amy
