Our new current departure date is set for Saturday and every scientist and crew on board is excited to embark! We’ve enjoyed this time to get to know one another, to set up equipment to peak operating conditions, and to relax, but we are also ready to do what we came here to do. The main entertainment activities over the last few days have been two more Argo float decoration parties, movie nights, and ping pong tournaments. Send good vibes our way!
Signing off for now – Sidney
