Float 48 continues to work well, with little evidence of sensor drift. The recent light winds have made it more buoyant near the surface, probably due to bubbles, which presents a continual ballasting challenge.

The problem with float 47 appears to be a reproducible 'feature' not a bug. The float is operational, but we can't safely restart it if it crashes. We will run test missions over the next few days and then redeploy it as a 'hot spare' near the end of the Knorr cruise.
