to allow sufficient time to pack the large amount of equipment we have on board need to be considered.
Meeting with captain and officers @ Jeremy Young
11:00 Do a round through the ship to check that the things are going OK with the various science teams on board. This is one of the most intensive days in our work schedule so I am particularly on the lookout for people getting overtired. Things have gone pretty smoothly today so there is a quiet and efficient hum of activity.
12:00 Lunch – this is a particularly important part of the day in that it is the main time that the whole science team congregate. Mingling is unavoidable as we all squeeze in to the tiny room and it is great time to catch up with people you may not have had a chance to speak to for a couple of days. Today’ s offering – burger and chips – just the job for people who have been up since 2am.
