15 BAD, 9 Questionable

--------------------------
During the first hours of NOV 20 wind increased
considerably reaching gale force with steady winds
of 45 knots. XBT cables started to tangle with each
other giving questionnable records at the end of the
run. Unfortunately weather conditions
made it unadvisable to work on deck at that time.
Starting the run from the 200m isobath required 60 probes
for the first HD part instead of 40.
