Hello y'all!  
Mustang suit: no I haven't worn it yet BUT I should have yesterday.  Ispent about 5 hours on deck watching the WHOI team recover a mooring.  Iwill post a journal about this sometime today.  Check it out-- one amazingfeat of engineering and electronics.
Anyway,the mustang suit probably would have been a good choice as it wasreally windy and cold.  See the picture -- I was warm enough.  When I goout on the ice, I will definitely wear the mustang!  
Carlos, if I hug a polar bear, then I would not be in a good situation....Emila, I am very interested in how the parenting book made *your* life easier.......do tell (you can email me at this address). All the best for a great start at Elon!Rob, thanks for the fish care.Stephan,  HI! from 75N, 150WThank you all for thinking of me,
Mrs. W
