Whole lot of shaking still going on! This area has proven to be very tempestuous -sure could use some sunshine and a little iceJ We were supposed to have a long work station here, but bad weather prevailed. So we're back inside.
Wave Action
It's hard to capture the powerful motion of the waves.*
In spite of the weather outside, the highlight of the day inside came with the Live Event! Before it began I was worried about transmission interference because of the storm, but I was told afterwards that the sound quality was very good. We didn't have a speaker phone so we used two phones on the bridge. Rob Sherrell, Tish Yager, Agneta Frammson and I huddled close to listen to the event.

Huddle closer!! Tish Yager and Rob Sherrell*
The ship was at one of the rockiest points during the program, and I had to keep my eyes off of the huge bridge windows because it was dizzying watching the wave action. At one point during a conversation I caught sight of the coffee pot about to slide off a cabinet and yelled "coffeepot"!!! I'm sure everyone was wondering what that was all about! After the event, everyone was asking me about it. The scientists who joined me were very pleased with the audience we reached and the great questions asked. I was not able to get pictures of the scientists posted beforehand, so I have put photos here of all the people who were on the phone on our end! Thanks to all of you who joined in, it was great hearing your voices and well wishes! And special thanks to the team at ARCUS/PolarTREC who put the Live Event together and Marti Dekker and Ellen Leblanc who have made classroom calls possible!
