Resurrection Bay

7/10/2018

That's Bear glacier in the background... the streaks running down the middle are referred to as medial moraine... where the two valleys converge and deposit all the grinder up sediments from the thousands of years of the glacier grinding down through the valleys....

Some nice swells that make deployment of gear difficult today..... but doable! Today is a an intensive station - CalVet, CDT and multi-net casts...... we are also taking samples for genetic sampling and analysis....

Last night stayed in the bay as a shield from the weather, but still experienced 10 foot swells... I actually put the rail up on my rack to prevent me from rolling out and face planting on the floor.... lol!! The rocking motion did for me what it does for babies ... knock em out!!
