Today was the last day of science on cruise NBP1103. Although tinged with the sadness that accompanies the end of such an exciting trip, it turned out to be a fantastic day for the reunion of the day shift and the night shift. Friends and colleagues that I hadn’t really seen for the past month, including my cabin mate, were suddenly working side-by-side with me. The day started, for me, with a slightly earlier breakfast (in order for me to adjust to a normal working day) followed by processing with Andrea some water brought up by the Tow Cam. Then, just before lunchtime (confusingly, what used to be my breakfast time… sigh…), the final trawl of the cruise was recovered and the whole science team headed out to the sunny back deck. I was delighted to be rubbing shoulders with the likes of Eric, Sebastian and Michelle, night shift biologists, picking through the trawl material. It was fun being able to chat to MTs Stian and Mark, who I normally only get to make fun of for a few minutes each day.
So, now the sample collection is over, the hard work starts: preparing and packing the samples and equipment. Fortunately, we’ve all been really organized (cough cough) throughout the cruise and mostly have been documenting and packing away samples as and when we could. Now, it’s just a matter of deconstructing the labs that were so carefully prepared a month ago – packing away water filters, washing sieves, counting spare sediment core tubes, and boxing up apparatus. We also have to prepare an official report for the cruise, featuring contributions from the whole science team. I’m certain the short transit back to Punta Arenas will fly by…

Not to worry even though, get rid of carpenter ants rarely sting. The girls are the one ones who're supplied with stingers but they are too busy producing eggs to worry about incoming dangers, particularly a risk as massive as a human. Ladies are frequently found deep inside the holes for safer haven. If those hollows are not found out and managed, wood worker bees will come again during peak season and continue to drill and prolong the similar hollow deep inside your home.
