Ecosystem Study of the Chukchi Shoal

Hi Deanna.

I can't believe you were still in Dutch for those extra days. How is everyone taking in it? Are the scientist anxious? Here's hoping you are underway soon.

Happy Sailin' :)

Hello Janet-We are all anxious to set sail. Preparations are beginning now as 2 pm is the departure time. I do think everyone is relieved that the shaft is finally fixed. When we arrived, we knew that a repair was needed. The quickest estimate for the repair was that we would sail on time. Unfortunately the repair did not go as planned. After several adjustments, the the shaft was fixed yesterday and the repair needed to set for 17 hours.
Thanks for asking-
Deanna
