we have been having moderate luck with piston cores in the piggy back basins.
however, the multi corer was deployed twice lastnight/this morning and we
recovered zero sediment. chris moser is curently working hard to troubleshoot,
but we think it is unlikely to send another attemp to the sea floor,as we are
getting behind (with the core stuck for a day and the double failure on the
multicore). we may skip a few core locations on our way back...
time is passing by really fast now. it will only pass faster. most of the crew
has been on a vacation cruise because we have so few cores. i have been busy,
along with chris goldfinger and a few others. this shift in time management will
be a struggle for those vacationers on board. we'll see... i must say that i
personally got a good 7 hrs of sleep last night. i did not know what to do with
myself.
luv jay
