JR here! We have begun to move again. The seas look great, the sky is clear, and the wind is blowing! It will take us about 2 days to get to our next location and then we will stop and drill again. This will be done many times during the next 5 weeks.

We also had a birthday celebration last evening for one of the scientists on board. He is a petrologist, someone who studies how rocks form. The cake tasted great; too bad you didn’t stop by to have some.
