Matthew's Journal

We spent most of today holding station off of Panama City. We moved in closer this evening and anchored in anticipation of the arrival of the Tech. Rep. who is supposed to help us with our mechanical issues. He was actually supposed to arrive already. If he is on board he's either part ninja and I didn't notice his arrival or he could have just not walked through the main lab. My being oblivious to my surrounding may also be a factor. I really hope he isn't part ninja. If he is the whole crew may be only moments away from death.

Anyway, while we still have ship issues, we at least had a lovely sunset this evening. As the sun set, it illuminated the high cirrus clouds bright pink and orange. If you're reading this and taking MEA 213, now would be a good time to have a discussion about different cloud types and Rayleigh scattering.
