Hello there.
It’s been a while, but I’m heading back out to sea! I leave on Monday for San Diego and we head out to sea on Wednesday. I’m going to try to blog from sea, but as always its hard to predict what the internets will allow out in open water. No hydrothermal vents this time, but we will be investigating an oxygen minimum zone off Baja. I will post again soon with some more info about the cruise location and research goals.
This post is primarily to test out an automated system for updating my facebook and twitter feeds.
This is just 1 shipment of stuff I will be bringing with me, and I’m the only person going from my lab.

Who is your equipment manager?
I have the pleasure of being my own equipment manager on this cruise. Although, I did get a huge amount of prep help from our completely awesome lab manager and the folks I’m collecting samples and running experiments for.
Heather this is kiana’s grandma and I live reading your blogs. It was so nice meeting you when you were here supporting Kiana after her mom passed. Thank you for being a special friend. Too bad you couldn’t hop over after your trip to San Diego. Take care and be safe and can’t wait for the next blog. With warm aloha grandma harriett
Good luck love. May it be memorable, productive and fun! xx
