The home stretch

So we enter the final week of the BAP trip, 7 weeks flew by so quickly, still much to do.

I have completed my data collection and I am now a full time slave for KT and now, for the first time, Mike as well.

To give further cred to his hydrological model,the BAP team have just finished a day-long, tidal logging excerise= slowly (very very slowly) lowering an expensive CTD logger (conductivity, temperature and depth) down boreholes across the island  in a rough East - West cross section. The logger does all the data collection automatically every 5 seconds and produces excellent plots of conductivity with depth. This was done every hour, for a whole day!


Needless to say it was hot, hot work in the midday sun.

Next for me is endless lab work. Joy.
