It’s Saturday where we are and do you know what that means? Yes, it’s time to clean up the “house.” While the scientists have been working, the lab benches have become very cluttered and dirty. Now that everyone is finished and packed up, it is time to clean up the labs for the next group of scientists who will board the ship in a few more days. The benches, equipment, and the floors are all being washed. While all of this is happening, we are still on our way to New Zealand. The ocean is calmer and we are picking up speed.

I have put some photos here, so you can see what the labs looked like before and after cleaning.
