This afternoon we had an abandon ship
drill, during which one of our JNCC staff members - Jenny - got the
opportunity to don an immersion suit. These are designed to keep you
warm and dry should ever need to abandon ship into the water, though the sizing can
vary!
Following the drill the night shift headed to bed to get a few
hours sleep, whilst the day shift spent the evening completing
calibrations for the multibeam systems. During the survey these
systems will collect detailed information on the depth of the seabed
and the different sediment types.
