Discovery's latest adventures involve sponges and cake, but perhaps not at the same time.
Autosub completes two missions at our new location off Morocco, but the real excitement is live video from Hybis, 4500m below the ship.
The last entry ended with Hybis over the side of the ship and Autosub ready to follow it a few hours later. In the unlikely event that any of you have been on the edges of your seats with the suspense here's what happened next...
A day of frustration as things don't go to plan...
Hybis, another of the vehicles on-board, was scheduled to dive today as we've finally reached our deep bit of ocean. Unfortunately, things haven't quite gone to plan, yet...
All the boring technical stuff about Autosub and how I get to be on a research ship in the middle of the Atlantic...
Day two of the cruise saw us launch Autosub, meet some dolphins, and have a small adventure retrieving the sub.
Three weeks on a research ship certainly feels like an adventure to me...even if today was pretty uneventful.
