Today and
last night we brought in some fantastic dredges with big rocks
and lots of glass to spare. We are currently on dredge 42 (see
photo), and members of the scientific team are placing bets on
how high the count will get. Due to the heavy workload, we were
all famished and were grateful for a delicious t-bone prepared
by our own Jay Erickson (see photo). We had planned on interviewing
the Captain tonight, however we were unable to wrestle him away
from a large school of mahi-mahi (three of which were caught tonight).
This evening the sky cleared just enough to see a gorgeous sunset,
which most of the crew watched from the promenade. By Jenny
