We continued with transects throughout the day and made a couple of sets, however once again the weather is beating us and we end the day with high winds and choppy seas. We are heading into the sheltered Bonavista Bay

In the wet lab, we had some interesting new species that we needed to identify; it is always exciting to see the diversity of species that inhabit these waters.

Throughout the day I find myself running off to grab my camera and taking a whole heap of photographs; there are so many great shots to be had on the ship! Tomorrow there is even talk about me doing some hair cuts for the guys so there may be some interesting photos from that!
