Communications with the ship are still spotty. Gray Curtis arrived yesterday and much of the equipment for his experiments is now on board. Captain reported that they had left Wreck Bay and were motoring toward Isla Santa Cruz. Gray Curtis is on board, as is his XBT equipment, and two scientists from Charles Darwin Research Center. They will begin water temperature testing today and will be engaged in this activity over the next two or three days.
All hands are back on board.
