More Uncertainty
We had hoped to be at sea by now. But with more COVID-19 developments, we are now uncertain that the trip will go ahead at all. We hoped to be introducing the science in this episode, but instead we are reporting on delays, and the difficulties of the voyage in the face of a pandemic.
