For the last couple of days we have been steaming around the edge of the Jones Bank towing the "Scanfish" to detect the red dye (rhodamine) that was released a couple of days ago, and thus study the dispersal of water in the sea.
We have been doing line transect surveys at the same time, and have suffered a great deal of gannet pollution. They haven't been doing much interesting either.
We have taken to thinking of suitable revenge to inflict on the watch / countdown timer at the end of cruise. This is penance for the irritating alarm that goes off every minute without fail. Suggestions gratefully received, we promise to record in detail the revenge being inflicted.
