Hi Bill,
Looks like you are having a great time aboard your ship. I see that as well as learning some cool science, you are seeing some very interesting wildlife. I loved the composite picture. I bet the birds have been amazing to see as well. I am home from Kamchatka and will be following you on your travels. Keep your Gumby suit close by - but, it looks like it would take quite a bit to toss that ship.
