Day 13 R/V Point Sur

Day 12 runs right into Day 13 . . .

The first trawl was released around 1:00 am to 2000 meters. While on trawl duty, I saw a huge sea lion swimming along side our ship. It was so amazing! I never knew they came out this far. When we were bringing the trawl back on board, I saw the sea lion again swimming behind the boat. It was so awesome!! What a way to start the morning. I wish I was able to take a picture of it.







The second trawl was released around 7:00 am and came up around noon.















Nicole deployed her long-line one more time in hopes to catch a shark and/or skate. Unfortunately the long-line did not have any sharks or skates. It only had rat tail fish. Hopefully during the second part of this research cruise in October, she will deploy her long-line and catch the sharks & skates.



The seas were extremely rough today, so we had to anchor in the bay for safety.

    Hi Michelle,

    How are all of you doing? It looks as though all of you have been very busy! Your pictures and narrative have created a fantastic story of the research journey and I think you. The Hawaii and California crews deserve a big round of applause! Thank the ship's crew, too.

    Safe trip back to port.

    Mom

    Thanks again

    Aloha Ms. Kay!
    This is Kit Brizuela, from the accreditation team visiting your school this week. I was told that you really wanted to be here for the visit, and I'm sorry we didn't get to meet you! I had read about your ocean research project, without knowing that you were at Dole.

    Congratulations on your work with your students; I observed them reading your blogs and answering questions about the deep sea creatures. I learned the difference between skates and rays because one of your students filled me in! Thank you, and I'm sorry I didn't get his name :)

    Hello, Ms. Brizuela. Thank you for the wonderful comment. I'm so happy that you got to see our amazing students in action. I'm so blessed and honored to be their teacher.

    I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet you, but maybe in the future our paths will cross. Thank you for taking the time to read the blogs, interact with our students, and submit a comment.
