Set up and unpacking of scientific equipment

Starting at 08:30 we report to the Oceanus and begin unpacking all the boxes we have brought on board. All the computer equipment has to be set up and the sleds that contain the sampling equipment have to be assembled. The main pieces of equipment we will be using are a sled that is used to make a streak of SF6 that will be detect with a different sampling sled. These pieces of equipment have to be assembled and tested before we leave port. These activities take up the rest of the day.
