Good bye

Yesterday was a sad day for me as I had to say good bye to Kim, Luz, and Nicole. They brought so much energy and fun to the ship and I already miss it (despite their claims I would feel otherwise). Each brought something special to the mission and I got really lucky in having them as my students. Quite frankly they made my job extremely easy. I think now that they have or will soon have good internet access they will catch you up on their experiences and perhaps some reflections on it and also some picture which are so hard to upload from the ship. Oh, the rocking just started which means we will soon be out in open waters (and I hear rough ones). Time to get the dramamine out. In a few days I will post my own reflections on Guatemala. In some ways a really tough mission both of because of what we saw, what we could and couldn't do, and the conditions we worked under.
