Weather summary
Plenty of cloud cover as an approaching low draws closer. A few small early snow patches. Swell has picked up since last night.
Today's activities
Before breakfast this morning we past through an avenue of ice bergs, they lined up on port and starboard for the numerous cameras eager to catch the moment, which was like sailing through a grand canyon of ice.
Jon has been busy on this Friday at sea, helping out on the trawl deck with the science program deployment operations, relieving some very tired and grateful scientists.
We spent most of the day north of Dumont D'Urville, slowly tracking our way south stopping at stations along the way for various marine observations and sampling. At this pace it is feasible that we would be at DDU in the morning but it's been difficult to get a straight answer out of anyone. One thing is for sure we should be there Saturday or Sunday. We have all accepted an open invitation to look around the French base when we arrive.
Warm wishes from the MHF team
