rough weather

Hey all,
Currently we are doing extreme blogging so you should be proud. The waves are too rough for anymore ctd casts in the central sound, so after NS3 we decided to head east and do the OB line. there are swells from the south and chop from the north east, so the further south the Auklet went the worse the conditions became.
