REMARKS:

All enjoyed talk on Friday afternoon by Judy Clarke on Penguin Monitoring. 'Fright Night' produced a Pirate with a Penguin on his shoulder, the Headless Horseman, a victim or two, black cats, and some ghouls and goblins but no spirits!! ANARE ingenuity is alive and well!! Continuous Plankton Recorder retrieved from second transect at 0800 and immediately deployed on third transect. Clocks back one hour tonight.
