After more than a year of sailing, we’ve reached the hurricane-free shores of Trinidad. Here in Chaguaramas, near Port of Spain, we’ve hauled out our boat at Coral Cove Marina for painting, repairs, and refitting. We’ll use this break to travel to Ottawa to see our family, especially our much-missed grandchildren. This time will also allow us to process the data we’ve collected, perform quality checks, and calibrate our CTD measurement system to ensure the accuracy of collected oceanographic data. Once this assessment is complete, the data will be transferred to the Ocean Database. In October we’ll return to Trinidad to continue our project and our adventures. Stay tuned!
