The debate now is which stations will need to be cut in order to maintain our time table of getting into Rio, and to maintain the integrity of the cruise. There comes a point when so many stations must be cut that the data gathered isn't representative of the overall line that is being measured and the option is to end the cruise.
We are all hopeful that this does not happen and that we can continue on even if it means with fewer stations to sample.
The weather has been holding fairly well. It is not perfect and sunny anymore but at least we are not combating storms as well.
Morale on the ship is ok. Many of the scientists are just bearing with the setbacks and hoping for the best.
Thats all for now,
