Trouble with using 'assess.yr' for documents that span multiple calendar years

[grinnellm]

I just noticed an error caused by using the variable assess.yr in the text. We started working on our herring assessment in Sept 2017, and just sent the final draft to CSAS in Jan 2018. Note that
assess.yr <- as.numeric(substr(Sys.Date(), 1, 4))
which changed our 'assessment year' from 2017 to 2018 in some of our figure and table captions, and document text. Perhaps this is more of a warning to others rather than an issue.

Yeah we changed this for hake so that it's a hardwired year. I got carried away and put that code in at some point!!
