Many of the students slept on board last night, and mustered at 6:30 for passport collection, breakfast, and safety training. After the ship's horn sounded in our ears, we knew we were on our way. It didn't take long for the ship to begin pitching, rolling, and heaving (ship terms... no big deal), but fortunately the seas are remaining calm. Our course is constantly changing (a few degrees here or there) as Dr. Lonsdale decides what is, and perhaps more importantly, what could be worth exploring; we've made great progress on a journey to Panama.
Here's a reduced sample of some of the data we're collecting: High resolution seafloor soundings along our course.
