Well, lets see how this goes.
Currently sitting on the vessel Nor Sky about 50 km from Rabaul. Can normally see the plume from the volcano in thedistance but it's been raining fairly constantly since yesterday afternoon so visibility is pretty poor.
Saw my first octopus yesterday while helping the scientists log. God knows what it thought we were. This 4 tonne thing with incredibley bright lights down at 1500m where there is hardly any light (that humans can see).
The scientist aresetting up an experiment to see if the snails can migrate or find their way home. The great snail race. THey are going to remove a bunch of snails and put them about 10 metre (?) from their home chimmney. Then they are going to see if they make any move at all or can find there way back. My money's on them dying; not the cleverest animal on the planet.
