Voyage Update: We managed to sneak through a break in the storms to retrieve a sediment trap - a reasonably clever device that sits near the seafloor for a year and catches the tiny particles that rain down... here are it's buoys bobbing alongside the ship after returning from the 2km deep seafloor in a #SubmarineCanyon - such a relief to see these pop up (we sent them an acoustic signal to come to the surface). Now we head south fast for shelter.
