Are we there yet?

As we approach EPR, the seas have set down a bit, which is good. Apparently though, we're just between storms. According to the weather sites I've looked at today the 3 (yes 3) tropical depressions/storms/hurricanes out here in the East Pacific are not an imminent threat, but word has it there's yet another one brewing. That one is said to be right on top of our work area...

We are due to arrive on site this evening. First task will be calibrating the ROV nav system overnight. Then hopefully, and weather permitting, we'll be in the water on our first dive tomorrow morning.

In the meantime, we've been collecting ship-based mutlibeam data for several hours, and Kevin has started processing it. He reports that the data look beautiful! John and I are working on R2R code and layout of some new web pages, and Julie is.... sleeping?
