As some of you may know, I let myself get talked into a 16 day research
cruise sponsored by NOAA on the Oscar E. Sette. Today we did a quick out
and back to test various systems for the various projects on board.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) we head out for real. The Oscar Sette is docked in Pearl
Harbor on Ford Island right next to the historic wreck of the Utah. This
afternoon after we returned from our out and back, we walked over to the
Pacific Air Museum which is right on Ford Island and walking distance from
the ship. Here are some pictures of the day:

You should be able to track us (possibly with a couple hour delay) at our
TrekMe.com page. We will also be blogging and posting links and pictures at
the the trekme site so click around on sub of the sublinks for more info:

For my part we will be heading out to a suspected ocean debris convergence
zone and attempting to use a UAV with wireless video camera and computer
"vision" software to assist in the debris location and removal effort.
Hopefully the trekme site will be update our ship track in near real time
throughout the trip, and my photo album will be updated every couple days.
I should have some internet access while we are at sea, but I may be too
seasick to do anything useful with it. :-)
Regards,
Curt.
