A picture of our group from Dr. Leila Hamdan’s multi-coring cruise! Though it was my first time using the multi-core, I learned a lot through troubleshooting and working with both the science and boat crew alike.
Before our incliment weather abruptly hit, I spent the weekend on the boat getting some side projects done. Our hold in the tech lab was severely rusted and corroded. I hit it with a needle gun for the day, removed a majority of the rust and painted it over with an anti-rusting paint enamel. I also serviced the CTD, fixed a mast light and several of our AIS speakers along the boat.
Monday into Tuesday is when our weather and flooding began to hit. LUMCON, as a result, has been shut down for several days as I, and a small crew, watches over the boat and premises. Fingers crossed that we will get out soon!
