Anchors Aweigh!

Well I've done it! Cut the cord, both literally and figuratively. At precisely 10:26 UST (Underwater Standard Time-- we like to keep things simple here under the sea-- as simple as they can be anyway!) I released the tow cable connecting my Haustibule to the "Mothership" as it were, the S.S. Meager Minnow (No relation to Gilligan fame). It's been an exciting journey, but I'm eager to "dive" into my real focus: The effects of climate change on the migratory patterns of a number of species of sea creatures that utilize the warm currents flowing Northward up the majestic Atlantic Ocean during the Winter Longitudinal Spread--

Phew! That's a mouthful!

Basically I'll remain submerged, but now flow freely with the currents in order to map them out more precisely (This is actually not as exotic as it sounds; scientists do it a few times a year-- the currents change patterns frequently. We're still working on determining the cause-- or causes, rather, as everything under the sea is interrelated and codependent-- even me!). While in the ocean's warm shifting bosom, I'll also be able to observe more closely the creatures I mentioned earlier. I expect this to be a most fruitful journey! I'll keep the blogosphere informed, of course-- Randy
