Today was another long day chasing drifters on the Vixen. Captain Dave drove us over 100 nautical miles! This was the calmest day of the Experiment so far, and we were happy to explore the southern part of the Sound. Dave showed us a beautiful "hidey-hole" on Disc Island. Knight Island was another favorite of the day.
We picked up the 40 meter drifters, as well as two 10 meter drifters. Unfortunately, we couldn't find one of the 10 meter drifters. After a 2 hour search, we decided to move on, frustrated. A lunch of nice, hot soup warmed us up again and it was out into the central Sound to deploy another bunch of drifters.
All in all, a successful day- and a night in Valdez to refuel and restock!
