So, we've passed through the worst part of Jova, which is nice, as it has now been upgraded to a hurricane. There have been no major incidents, and indeed the crew are generally laughing about it. Most of us have overcome our seasickness, though I still haven't seen Vicki yet. However, something looms on the horizon, something that may create more fun and excitement for us in the coming days. Its name is Invest 99. If it gets more organized, it could receive a much more fearful moniker: Kenneth. At least one model has predicted that it will reach the minimum 34 knot winds necessary to call it a 'tropical storm' and give it a name. It has been said that early October is the worst time to head down to EPR for exactly this reason. Either way, we'll be through the worst of it soon and ready to do some research. By Monday, if everything goes well, we should have Jason in the water and ready for its engineering dive. More updates on that as we get there.
