believe it or not, pouring water into a smaller container on a boat can be difficult, so here is my published procedure of pouring water. 1) Leave the open container leaning on the size of the container you want to pour into. 2) Gently let the rock of the boat pour the water for you 3) If the boat rock rocks the other way DO NOT GET AGGRESSIVE and tip the bottle, or you WILL drench your work station! 4) Not having patience blows, so you better find them somewhere!!
In the past couple of days, glass has not been my friend! So the small amber CDOM bottles cannot be put in the -80 freezer, because they will shatter! oops The test tubes we had transported here did not have a friendly flight, so they will shatter when trying to put a cap on, oops. And finally (sorry Elin!) one of our very nice, very expensive cuvettes did not like the rock of the boat, so the top is a little....missing. I think it would still be able to be used in the fluorometer, but as of now we are using the non-shattered one (yes we are a very smart bunch).
