What a great and fascinating Leg from Cape Town to Melbourne we can look back on. The whole fleet arrived in the Melbourne Docklands.

The team was able to take care of our scientific unit despite the extreme conditions and swell. As you can see from the next plot we already acquired a big chunk of data but there is a lot more to come.

Next to the science we can now look forward into 2018 and get some impressions from Melbourne. What a great idea to collect rubbish from the river and what a beautiful NYE celebration.
