Last night
the Red Shift, Carrie Donnelly, Jenny McGuire, and Betsy Williams,
completed a very successful dredge with the help of Emily Klein.
It contained about 40 lbs of rocks from along the incipient ridge.
This morning, Breakfast Club performed a wax core and began a
camera tow (see photos). The camera tow provided 4 hours worth
of photographs taken every fifteen seconds from along the ocean
floor. We are currently launching the forth dredge of the trip
out of approximately forty expected dredges. It looks as though
we’re going to get a lot of excellent material for analysis. In
other news, Jay Erickson and (silent) Bob Seeley continue to provide
succulent meals including stuffed pork chops, tenderloin, chicken
santiago, thai curry shrimp, duck, and a large variety of other
meals (see photo). By Jenny McGuire
