Unreasonable at Sea day 15

We stayed up all night working on the slides;
And finished them by 10 AM as needed.
I saw the sunrise.

We picked up our packet for customs clearance. ANd I’m filling it in now

Then… we took a short nap, and unfortunately I slept through a really exciting meeting with the biology professors on board. It seemed like there was a really cool conversation that happened between them and Cesar about transforming the MV Explorer into a “Ship of Opportunity” : so adding a wet lab, being able to take samples and do sensing from the waters, developing a type of trolling net that can be pulled behind hi speed cruises, measuring mercury in the waters by measuring it in fish or other live samples; Or also doing some NOAA inspired tests, that involve mostly observations;

Then… super cool – we got into the 2nd floor workspace and started working!!

On the battery packs and electronics.

And we got some student help.

Then I did that thing that was : “women in business day” ie had dinner with the ladies. Was funny.
