Back on the track

We are back on the track. Moving west from the Bear Island shelter, doing one by one hydrographical stations along the H section (73 30.0 N 18 05.1 E - 73 22.2 N, 4 45.7 E) and then down to the south - east along A section (72 42.0 N, 2 39.3 E - 69 44 N, 16 07.3 E). Work is going fine, we fixed some troubles with connection to the instrument (the yellow current meter, which we call ''Fat'') but we resigned to use whole rosette and lower just selected instruments mounted on the frame instead. Parallel to that we already started dowloading and processing our data over the short distances between stations.

However, after the hard start of the cruise we are now adoptive immune to the slightly bumpy sea. Learned how to walk in the heel, sleep in the heel, work in the heel, take a shower in the heel - generally...live in the heel.
