R/V Melville

We have nearly completed collecting SeaBeam and magnetic data for the project. It is expected that around noon tomorrow we will begin the second portion of the research including dredging, wax coring, and performing camera tows. That means we will switch to our 4 hours on, 8 hours off watch schedule beginning tomorrow. We’re all looking forward to the change in pace. Today we continued our current watch schedule and relaxed during off-hours (see photo). By Jenny McGuire
