Â
We took advantage of the land facilities while we were docked at Fisherman’s Bay this morning. After a quick breakfast, chores, and a few phone calls, we sat down to our morning meeting. We decided to make our daily round of phone calls to try to see if there was any news on the whales, but there were no sightings. We decided to poke our nose out at
Cattle
Pass and hove to in order to drop the hydrophones. But the whales were not only absent, but also silent. Kenna and Sam prepared potato soup with sandwich fixings for lunch. After lunch we headed up the San Juan Channel to
Friday
Harbor to pump out.Â
Tracy deboarded the Gato Verde to head back home, Kenna pumped out the holding tank, Mike filled up the water tank, and Wes and Liz ran to Kings to buy a few essentials. We moved onto
Friday
Harbor Labs and tied up at the dock. The students hit the ground running, grabbing computers and cell phones. Wes prepared dinner,
Shannon tried to help, Heather grabbed a shower, Sam spoke on the phone, Liz got some work done, Elise caught up with her sister and Kenna helped move boats around on the dock. After vegetable casserole with salad,
Shannon led a discussion on graduate school advice. The group spent the evening taking advantage of showers, internet connections, lab computers, and cell phone signals.
