Pacific Adventures: Mail Buoy
http://kerry-pacificadventures.blogspot.com/2012/03/mail-buoy.html
Friday, March 9, 2012. In the very near future, we may experience a loss of Internet for a week or so. (How will we ever survive? During previous ASRAMP cruises, we've lost our Internet connection for a period of time while nearing the Equator. The particular satellite that provides our Internet service is in a geostationary orbit above the Equator, and apparently our satellite dish antenna has a problem pointing straight up (or has a blocked view when doing so or some such reason). Holy crabs, Baker!

Pacific Adventures: Crossing the line
http://kerry-pacificadventures.blogspot.com/2012/03/crossing-line.html
Wednesday, March 21, 2012. Just after leaving Baker Island we crossed the Equator and entered the Realm of King Neptune on our transit to Swains. Over the next 3 days the Slimy Pollywogs proved that they were worthy of becoming Honorable Shellbacks. For those who have not sailed across the Equator yet, I can say no more….

Pacific Adventures: September 2010
http://kerry-pacificadventures.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 18, 2010. Sunset is my favorite time of day. I try to catch it as often as possible when I am out on the ship. The past few days have had some very pretty ones, and I couldn't help but take some pictures. Pearl and Hermes Atoll, day 4. The water was so calm I could photograph even the smallest of ripples. I thought this one might make a nice background for my computer. The moon rising over Pearl and Hermes Atoll. Green Island, Kure Atoll just prior to sunset today. Kure Atoll, day 1.

Pacific Adventures: Holy crabs, Baker!
http://kerry-pacificadventures.blogspot.com/2012/03/holy-crabs-baker.html
Wednesday, March 21, 2012. Holy crabs, Baker! Day One at Baker was a fairly typical ARMS day: Launch the small boat at 0745; first dive over by 0930; back to the ship by 1000; clean gear; lunch at 1100; start processing at 1130; break for a quick dinner at 17:00, and finally wrap up processing by 1830-1900. This is followed by a shower, camera downloading, data entry and lastly sleep! However our second day wasn’t nearly so typical! Molly Installing ARMS in 2010. The same ARMS unit in 2012. The views, op...

Pacific Adventures: Johnston Underwater

Wednesday, March 7, 2012. Here are a few photos form some of our dives at Johnston Atoll:. Cristi near a huge. What are you looking at? Red slate pencil urchin:. The Towboard team in front of Johnston Island. The large building is the Joint Operations Center.
