General ship’s maintenance is underway and the chipping,
painting, sanding, and welding have begun! We are making a lot of noise these
days, but these are crucial activities for the wellbeing of the ship and avoiding
rust, which could quickly deteriorate the condition of the vessel.
We also made a big splash: this morning we let out the orange
fast rescue boat. It sped to Ponta Delgada and came back with a new faculty
member. We will find out who the mystery professor is soon enough!
We are now leaving São Miguel for the third time. We will
head westward past the Azorean archipelago, and, some time tonight, turn
straight north towards Iceland.
