Slow Day On the Ship

When I awoke the ship was in route to site 4. Should take us about 50 hours to get there. Most work caught up so the day was spent with small jobs or recreation (reading, talking, and watching a CD). Spent some time in lab preparing methane samples and helping Art set up auto-analyzer. The sea is pretty calm at this time. A few rain clouds should up twice but did not cause any weather change. Got a few e-mails off to state side. Nothing else to report. Tomorrow should be pretty much like today. Not much planned.
