Day 2 - first day on the water

We spent today on a boat working with the AUV and ROV getting them up and running and working on some kinks in the hardware.  We learned a ton about the working environment, challenges and beauty of the ocean here.  We very much appreciate the amazing hosting we had on board (thank you to our amazing Russian hosts!) We will post more about our technical work soon, but here are some images of the working environment and hard working team.
We spent the day on the boat visible in the background - very lovely!

off it goes!
Ian and Katie looking happy that the little video ray made it down to over 48 meters to reach the sea floor with great visibility.


Enjoying our beautiful work environment!
