Week 9 - racing to the finish line

During week nine it hit me that I really wasn’t finished with my project at all. That was a scary realization, but it motivated me to start wrapping it up. I went through all the meta-data I have so far and started trying to fill the gaps. I’ve also written the first draft of my paper. As for daily activities, my week was filled with working on drifters. So far we’ve gotten the pipes, cut them, ground PVC circles to put inside and water-proof them, and we’ve glued water-proof lids onto one end of the pipes. Hopefully their underwater sails will arrive soon! We’ve also been getting ready to upgrade the station at CBNC3. We need to replace the solar panel, battery, dry box and the instruments and cable. We’re planning on actually getting out there next week.
