There were strong winds yesterday morning so no diving could take place. Geological grab samples were collected from White Sands and collection was continuing last night. One dive was attempted yesterday afternoon and a mystery animal was discovered, it is a mystery because none of the scientists know what it is. A sample was collected to do taxonomy on. It seems like a coelenterate of sorts, but has two rows of tentacles. Kerry is going to try send a picture to me that I can put on the web.
Today it is pouring with rain, they may not be able to dive, but if they can they are going to Leadsman Canyon. Because this is far north, there will be no cell phone signal and I will have to wait 2 days before getting any more news.
I also spoke to Ron Uken yesterday and he was telling me about the sand movement on the seafloor, the sand moves with the current mainly south and then pour over into the canyons, these flow out the canyons like a fan/fingers of sediment. Very interesting, perhaps you can go and investigate more and tell me what you think these shifting sands look like and what could possibly live in sands that move.
