Comments
Last night, the perfect octagon that we were proposing to carve into the southern ocean during our acoustic noise tests turned into more of a squashed hexagon due to some last minute alterations to the plan.
Today we are wending our way northwards as we deviate occasionally to test the ice/wave radar on some unsuspecting icebergs. Apart from that, we are heading home with a final frenzied day of science commissioning planned for the day before we arrive in Hobart.
