Night Shift in full swing! by Bri - Shoutout again to my Mom, Dad, Amy and Rob!

These past few days have been jam-packed with science during night shift between the fine-scale acoustic studies, bongo and IKMT net tows, Brandyn Lucca’s target strength science and Cassie Fries’s g-measurements, that y’all learned about during her blog post. So much science!

Hello from the crisp blue water and brisk current of the Gulf Stream!

We are currently in our 11th day of the trip, and we’re running against the clock to do as much as we can before 35-40 kt winds and 11-16 ft seas hit us on Tuesday. Our luck hasn’t been too great today, as some squalls have inserted themselves right into the middle of our lander recovery process, preventing us from contacting the sunken instrument. I know, how rude! We delayed, and after a hearty breakfast we were able to contact the lander and bring it up into the surface world.

Chloe Nunn here again from the R/V Endeavor.

I am writing this at midnight, the end of my shift. I am unusual in that instead of having a 6-6 shift, I work noon to midnight, while today’s other blogger works midnight to noon. This means that I am fortunate enough to experience both night and day shift activities! However, I love carrying out hand-on oceanographic work, which means I find it very difficult to go to bed, at the end of a shift, when everyone around me gets to keep going with the exciting work.

How to join a research cruise! By Carmen Lawrence

Research cruises can be a lot of work, but also a lot of fun! If you’ve ever wondered how to join a research cruise, there are several common paths people generally take. Most of the science party with the ADEON project got here through academia, people working on a university degree in a field related to oceanography and marine science. Usually, these students are connected to someone involved on the project.

Groundhog Day (on a boat)!

HUGE shout out to Mike Duffy and James Bennet (the Chief Steward and Mess Attendant on the RV Endeavor) who made the best brussel sprouts for dinner tonight. They were delicious. Having good food on the ship makes everything else on this ship work more smoothly so we really appreciate them keeping us well fed.

Greetings from night crew’s second night of science on the R/V Endeavor!

I am Rachel Eckley, a current MS student at Nova Southeastern University, and I am assisting with fish identification on this ADEON cruise. This cruise marks my first time out at sea, and I am happy to report that I have not yet had to battle any seasickness *hears the faint sound of Bri Cahill knocking on wood in the distance.*
