On January 15, 2026, a presentation of our project for the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society Ottawa Centre took place at Irene’s Pub. The event was held both in person and online. I was honoured to be introduced to the audience by renowned Canadian adventurer, songwriter and performer Ian Tamblyn, whom I met in this pub 23 years ago when I was living and working at the RBR across the street. Since then, I have become his admirer and his songs accompanied us on our voyages, brightening up our night watch duty. Thank you, Ian, for your music! Thank you to everyone who came to the pub despite the heavy snowfall that hit the city. Thanks also to everyone who watched the presentation online!
