first core site

we are at our first coring station. core station 1. 42 26.2755 North
and 125 16.6160 West (distal to the Rogue River Canyon fan apron).
this is in the location of Core RR0702-31PC (approx), collected in
2002. we have good 3.5 kHz sub-bottom profile data and can count the
turbidites in this seismic profile (since we have cores from this site
and have a good idea as to the thickness and depth of the larger
turbidites, which we can see in the seismic profile). we counted ~18
turbidites on the screen above what we suspect is the Holocene (based
on the cores we already have). awesome!!!

i am in the computer lab taking notes in the core station data sheet.
these notes will be essential in the future to work out any confusion
that may develop. (may = will)

it is really nice to have internet access!

i am no longer sea sick. the weather is perfect (albeit a little warm;
i am not complaining, just noticing,,, hahahaha). the seas are gentle.
good omen for the cruise. peace out...
