Sunday, 15-July, 04:00 Ah, the challenges of science at sea. After recovering 5 OBS's, we are cruising up the coast of Washington state on a line off of Vancouver Island. The further north we go, the rougher the seas. Our line takes us more or less straight into the swells, and our speed makes for a lot of bumps. We recovered last night at about 8 pm, then midnight, now we will slow down and hope to recover our next in the pitch dark, with somewhat high seas, and (hopefully not!) half-asleep. Wow!
