Day 11

Bio's had another dive. The pics were very nice, a bunch of strange corals and sponges with funny shapes. They recovered a Manganese rock from the bottom. Cool.
We are now transiting to the next spot, currently @ 22º37.2 N, 166º51.9 W, 23:36 Hawaii time.
Today the sea was very calm, I can guess that if this is what Magellan found after passing the windy Patagonian seas, then the name Pacific is well deserved.
It was a productive, yet calm and fun day on board. Played cards with the colleagues, read my GBR stuff, science meeting, etc. etc...
At night some bioluminescence on the sea surface + loads of stars + the orange moon-rise on a calm sea. Beautiful.
Saludos,
Tavo.
