Preparation for Departure

This morning at breakfast I met Greg McCullough, the scientist I'll be working with. I got mustang suits from a storage container that will later be loaded on board. Moved boxes with Greg for around 3 hours. We were moving them from the 4th floor down to the lab on the 6th floor (top down to bottom). Some of the boxes and equipment were rather heavy. We finally discovered the elevator when we had one last load of heavy stuff! We spent time after lunch setting up some of the lab equipment and storing materials and making sure all the filtering equipment is here; once we are out at sea we won't be able to get anything that's not on board.
