They're out in the open sea now and it appears to be going well.
Again from Michael:
Yesterday, Fri. Sept.18: Yarr me mate. Ye best post up on some pirate talk day yarr. Temorra is international talk like me, ye space pirate, day. Yarr!
Today, Sunday Sept. 20: Hello again. Things have been going along at a good rate here. The weather has been amazing for the drake Passage. There has only been one bad-ish day, which resulted in a good amount of water coming into the room where the rosette is housed. Once the rosette was back up though there were no problems, just more water moving around the floor. Other than that the seas have been gently rocking. I heard the Captain say to a new crew member that this is the calmest you'll ever see in the Drake. Hopefully it'll stay this way until the sampling gets done and then I'd be up for some good storms. We are running short on one of the chemicals needed for the oxygen titration, but we'll see if we can substitute some KI for some NaI. Should be the same, we just need the I ion. The temp took a turn south yesterday from about 4 C to -1.5 now. Apparently it snowed some yesterday, but I slept through it; it is flurrying abit right now, but nothing notable. The crew enjoyed talk like a pirate day yesterday. Yarrr.
I suppose that's all for now.
Good morning!
