Examination of Phytoplankton Biodiversity
R/V Endeavor Cruise Log
3/23/07
2200
36o58’ latitude
Hello everyone!
We are enjoying clear skies with air temperatures at 18oC.
R/V Henry Bigelow requested photos. They were sent out via email
The other gentleman is Dave, Marine Technician.
As you can see, it’s early in the a.m.; the sky is very dark out here.
Today, we completed all Gulf Stream samplings. The other groups aboard were able to conduct all their measurements. I was kept very busy working with all the research parties; very little time for logging.
We saw several pieces of Sargassum. One surprise was that we saw no other ships, no birds, no large marine life. I can only imagine how desolate sailors must have felt in older days.
Since our measurements were finished for the day, we had a “Movie Night.” Casino Royale is what we viewed.
Take a look at the treats that were offered in addition to popcorn and peanuts.
The video ended at about 2200.
