Leaving the Azores

So we arrived at the Azores on the main island Sao Miguel after flying the whole day and changing flights 3 times. We still had some time in the evening to check out the city (I ate the biggest hot dogs I ever saw...) and hang around a nice concert at the city centre, enjoying caipirinha's.

Yesterday evening then we started of to do a 2-day tour and have some of the ships equipment tested in the water. In the meantime the scientists unpack their boxes and set up the equipment. The mood among the people is like the weather quite excellent. I'm sitting in the middle of a lot of boxes right now and will get back to them in a minute.

I hope you guys are fine, if you want you can reach me on the ship here: dfink.d@fs-meteor.de (please send text only)

I'll keep you posted,

Dennis

Setting sail

I'll be flying to the Azores tomorrow morning and then be away until the 12th of October. Here you can see the current position of our research vessel FS Meteor:

I'll be podcasting from the ship for a newspaper (Hamburger Abendblatt) and will tell you the link as soon as I know more.
Petri Heil!
