Half-Way Through

Due to problems with the internet, I cannot post any pictures tonight.  However, I can give a brief description of the day.  Most of us got a 4 our break today.  The Pelican was too large to reach a few of our sampling sites, so 3 people in a small boat collected them.  When they returned, they were able to get a few pictures of the boat, which I hope to post tomorrow.  We have been running a transect today which runs south of the Atchafalaya River.  We will be ending the night with another core off of an oil rig.  Check this blog tomorrow for crew interviews, and check the website in the next few days, as we update the personnel section.
