Sperm Whale Seismic Study (SWSS)

Summer Breeze Daily Reports - July 8, 2005

Supplemental Report

Location on 07/08/2005, 21:43 UTC, 28 43.951N, 090 02.644W

We are sailing now in a north-westerly direction in good conditions. Considering where Dennis is supposed to hit land and where we are hoping to work on whales next, we have decided to seek shelter for the weekend in Morgan City. We will be able to reach it by tomorrow morning, well ahead of any bad weather predicted for this area. It also will bring us further west and closer to our next survey area. All forecasts predict improving conditions by Monday, and we hope to be able to begin sperm whale work again at that time. In addition, we are also keeping our fingers crossed that Sierra might be able to join us again before we head back out to sea.
