Day 65 : 11 February 2011

Hello All

The visibility remained restricted the entire afternoon yesterday, but with only a few white horses from the wind the radar detection remained extremely good. We altered onto the 2nd last leg of the Good Hope transect last night after supper, but had to slow down for about an hour while the scientist recovered the UCTD.

We deployed a Weather Services buoy early this morning and are making very good progress. The weather outlook for tomorrow night is not looking to bright, but we will take it on the chin as see it as a farewell gesture from Neptune.

Our ETA has now been set to 08:00SAST on the 16th of February 2011, if all goes well we will see you then.

Enjoy the start to the weekend.
