Where?

For anyone wondering where we are right now, plug this into google earth:
62 degrees 27 minutes north, 172 degrees degrees 19 minutes west. We are
just south of St. Lawrence island Alaska, and will do most of the rest of
our sampling in this general area.

We have settled down to a general routine, not much more to tell anyone.
I've been on board for twelve days, now, but it seems much longer than
that. Not that it's bad, but when you can't get away from your work, and
days and nights just don't feel all that different, the days all kind of
blend together. I get about 5 or 6 hours of sleep per night (day) and the
rest of the time I spend mostly waiting to get to a station, and not very
much time actually working while at the station. Last night, in 12 hours,
we were actually working for only three hours total at two stations. The
rest of the time we read, do crosswords or sudoku (thanks Melanie) or
watch tv. Not much excitement. i'll let you know if something comes up.
