<> LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

So after taking last weekend off, in the rain, I hoped for some better weather for my trip to Bermuda on Tuesday - but was disappointed - it rained all the time in Bermuda too!!! I was meeting with the Ministry of the Environment there to set the stage for Langseth's first science cruise in late 2006 (PIs: McNutt and Mutter) that will study the deep structure beneath the Bermuda swell.

I spent Thursday in a one day retreat with folks from the Marine Office - discussing how we are going to operate our new ship, and face the many challenges that the new complex data acquisition
hardware will bring. While we are not operating we have a unique opportunity to bring our Chief Engineers and Captains together in one place to talk about issues - something that rarely happens becausegenerally one of the Chiefs and one of the Captains is always at sea.

It was very useful.

The big event next week is the Bond Symposium on Wednesday - a day of science talks directed towards celebrating the life and accomplishments of Gerard Bond - for details please check the Lamont web page.

I am confident that it will stop raining this weekend,

Have a good one,

- Mike
