Deployment of the CTD for nutrient samples and Be-7 work, getting the sampling sled ready for redeployment and deploying the sled

The sampling sled was taken out of the water at 08:00 hours and the sea water samples were removed and tested using the G.C. SF6 tracer was discovered in 7 of the integrated samplers. This is significant but the true value of the discoveries will only be understood once the values are plotted against where the tracer was originally injected.

During the day CTD casts were made again for nutrient samples and for the Be-7 experiments.

The sled was readied and redeployed at 20:30.
