Now that the cycles have begun, we have a steady schedule. 2 AM CTD tow, which means we are filtering water until 5, then we have to run the chlorophyll from the previous morning. Every other day we are filtering even more water from the incubation experiments - so we are filtering a lot of water everyday!!! At night I get to sit back and relax with the giant net going flying fish fishing (I caught another one last night!!!). There are so many different experiments going on during this cruise, that we should even be able to explain every aspect of the Costa Rica Dome....

Every sunrise and sunset out here is so different and beatiful everyday! I can finally say I've seen a dolphin too! We just had Thanksgiving dinner tonight, and I think I'm going to take another nap before our 2AM cast. I'll work on posting more pictures, but really the pictures will be "Look, there's the ocean from this side of the boat!" and "Oh, and there's the ocean from the other side of the boat....."
