We boarded the Joides Resolution this Thursday with lots of excitement, expectations, chocolate, gear and snacks to keep us going for the next two months. We left port the same day, and anchored outside the town, waiting to refuel. The past and coming days is dedicated to get to know the ship, the equipment, the procedures and each other. In-between the lectures and tours there has been whale watching, mahjong and gazing in the sunset. I’ve been put on the midnight till noon shift so I only have a couple of sunsets left until we have to adapt to our schedule. |
Accommodation, cafeteria, gym, lounge are all up to standard. While the laboratory is in a league of its own. I’m sure we us 30 scientists will have a blast working together in this world class lab, producing a lot of interesting data.
We will be ready to start filling these racks with core from the Falkland plateau next week.
