no internet last night. so from yesterday:

Zodiac ride!!!! absolutely ridiculous! crashing through the swell on the Zodiac Hurricane (basically a 300hp twin engine inflatable boat!) at 16 kts (the Tully does 10-12!) (but the hurricane can do 45 kts!?!? WHAT?!?!?). We went cruising out for some surface trace metal samples, Keith hanging off the side to sample (not when we were doing 16 kts!), anyway, it was an amazing experience, seeing the Tully from the water, and just out zipping around the Pacific!

Poor Amy had to watch our samples filter for something like 4 hours, but was dancing around in the clean bubble enjoying it, will hopefully get 2 set ups going next time so be done in half the time. I watched some stuff filter too, but only for about 1 hour.

Oh yeah, 2nd best part of the day (only cause, come on, whats gonna beat out a Zodiac ride!), we had banana splits at dinner! it was so ridiculous, everyone was laughing and giggling like a bunch of kids in a candy (errrr....ice cream) store, seriously when is the last time you had a banana split, now imagine having them handed out to a bunch of half sleep deprived scientists floating around out in the middle of the ocean, *hilarity ensues*
