Latitude: 58o 19' N Longitude: 134o 25' WLocation: Downtown Juneau, Alaska
The ALES lab is ignoring the thousands of folks who head to the Hamptons in August each year and instead I've headed to the west coast. Um, make that the north north north-west coast.
First up, a week-long cruise in the bays and fjords of Juneau, Alaska investigating humpback whales and their prey. Then we'll go a bit south to the Pacific Northwest of the United States and participate in a two week cruise with the National Marine Fisheries Service on one of the legs of their Hake survey.
More posts to come from the boats, airports, and places in between. Right now, my brain is trying to explain to my body that a 4 hour time difference and an overnight layover in Seattle last night is no reason to be sleepy at 9pm Alaska time.
We are scheduled to leave the dock around 5pm tomorrow so hopefully the weather will stay clear and we can get all our gear and equipment set up and tested.
