We're off....

Hopefully, we're out of here today. Yesterday was just as hectic if not more. It's going to be an interesting cruise. My heel is doing well (and yes people, we can stop telling me I should have got stitches.....I know! Finally showed it to Stian, he says it looks good, so i'm going to keep quiet about it (unless something happens of course), haven't worn shoes yet and still have at least 24hrs before I have to, so thats good).

We're in the process of taking on fuel for the trip, loading the last few things and tying things down for the trip. I have to get the biology side more organised - though the students have been fabulous at getting things done - i've been really proud of our side of the science party, they have worked their butts off so far.

Stian is off to CA today to CA......everyone at portcall wants you to stay you've been so fabulous....will miss you baby!

The next post will hopefully be by ship email, we'll see. Our first post on the website should be up soon - http://censeam.niwa.co.nz/outreach/nathaniel_b._palmer
