At 10am, Monday morning, the R/V Wecoma, a research vessel from Oregon State University left port with me on it. We are planning to collect sediment cores from the sea floor near the coast. The weather was a little rough this morning to we are heading down to Monterey Bay California where the weather is nice to start coring there. Then we will move north stopping at various places to core sediment near river mouths.

During our safety meeting we covered went over what to do during various emergencies on the ship, including if we need to abandon ship. So I had to get into a survival suit although this one was seriously too big. I fit much better in a size small. These suits will keep us all warm and buoyant if we ever needed to abandon ship.
