Loading today and leaving port tomorrow!

We have loaded all our gear today and should be leaving tomorrow, weather permitting. We have been waiting in port in Dalcahue on Chiloe Island for the storm to pass for the past four days... But at least we got to sight-see a little, especially the beautiful oceanic side of Chiloe Island.

The purpose of our trip is to install some more hydrophones (Marine Autonomous Recording Units, MARUs) on the sea floor to listen for whales. I'll be updating on how our trip goes. But for now, fingers crossed for good weather!
