Sentry makes a splash

Science operations are now in full swing. We recovered last nites dredge at about 10pm our time & it did indeed contain gabbro. We continued our multi beam survey over night, mapping the Gololobov Bank, carried out XBT’s during the morning & launched Sentry for it’s first dive early this pm. Once Sentry was on station, we maneuvered to carry out our next dredge, which unfortunately came back empty. We are currently dredging again before we re-commence our multi beam survey.
